Hang on a sec wingnutt. These guys and gals pass the QF selection, are offered a position as a QF 'cadet' three to six months later, pass that training 12-15 months later and then QF tells them to head off for a couple of years (whereas in the past they would have joined straight away!). And you think that them getting a number comensureate with them finishing their initial cadet training is unfair to people that perhaps haven't even applied to get in to QF yet?
It's happened before with an ex cadet who went to fly with the Army after QF said no eimployment for ages (hi Mel) who then joined QF at the end of her ROSO and was senior to me and I was the F/O on her Second Officer famil trip. She jumped about three hundred people (or more.) I was directly affected (being junior) and I still think it's a fair deal.
I can see partly where you're coming from but in the grand scheme of things, this one rates well down the list!
