Unbelievable, in the extreme. Some potentially fantastic news comes along and certain individuals have to start throwing their toys out of the pram about a totally different subject.
LST, if the world owes you nothing, then what is your problem. Nobody is owed a place on a cadetship, they earn it. Full stop. End of argument.

I was under the impression that the requirment to apply for the cadetship was to have the right to live and work in the UK. You obviously have that as you say you currently work for a UK airline.?.
