What makes you think that everyone in the program comes from this entitled generation? Have you met all of them? Did you know that some of them have X amount of work experiences prior to getting this job? And by the way, if you think this is such a good idea, how come they have waited for so long to push through?
The ISD is scrambling for cabin crew as well, does it mean you would also support the initiative of the cadets serving peanuts and pushing trolly on the plane? (If there was such an initiative in the future.) Frankly, I think you and the management trying to justify this action by giving a load of crap, just like all sales people.
