The apprenticeship mentality and the good old “initiation” clause. Unfortunately that’s not how the world works anymore, and I am glad those days are over!
Did you learn anything about flying by load bags, washing planes and sweeping hangar floors? Anything more than what you could have learnt washing your own car and sweeping your own garage?
I value my time enough knowing that the above “chores” are not going to excel me in my chosen career and speaks more of a person’s willingness to be exploited.
Time is precious, and if you expect cadets to go through this “hazing” phase then:
1. The cadets don’t value their time.
2. The company does and will not ever value them.
