I have read so much online good and bad. I see airlines have recruited heavily over the last few years. Will there be opportunities for a low hour cadet????
Aany advice is apprecaited.
Crystal ball question unfortunately!
The jobs market is currently good, really good, and better than it has been in a long time. But who knows what’ll happen.
If you can, clearly get on a cadet scheme, going to assume you’ve applied to loads already though?
You also need to consider the modular route. If you’re risk averse then modular allows you to exactly time when you end training, you’ll save 15-20k, and in many cases can finish training ahead of integrated students given just how unbelievably good integrated schools can be as screwing up their training pipelines.
Have a look at your timeline, if you start training in the next few months then there’s no real reason why you wouldn’t be finishing in late 2027 rather than 2028.
