I am an LCC tagged cadet due to start integrated training commencing at the end of this year. The school has told me that the airline has not informed them of any intention to void the contracts of this cadet intake. I can imagine a couple of reasons for this, the main one being that the two years training means we wouldn't be taking a salary until around 2023, and that given the type rating will be bonded, we are a source of revenue and return on investment in simulators etc. Equally one would expect that cadets would be the first to go given what the the job market for FOs may look like in 2023 and a potential abundance of desperate experienced pilots, so I can't quite understand why I haven't been cast off, and of course I would be devastated to recieve such news.
