I don’t have any figures on how competitive cadet shops are but anecdotally I’ve heard a minimum of 4-5 applicants for every slot (when they are doing them).
Seems like Unis are just money-making schemes; I'll steer clear. How hard is it to find a GA job? I was under the impression that there was a certain level of demand in this sector.
