This is an argument that goes back many years. Wether you train pilots in a cadet program or hire "experienced" pilots hasn't had any huge impact in terms of safety. Both records are good. The old concern was that the so called cadet program would put young, inexperienced pilots at the controls. In reality the experience gained from sitting next to a real experienced airline pilot in real airline flying is most valuable. The record speaks for itself. On the other hand, the so called experienced bush pilots that canada is so famous for developing have scared the **** out of me a few times and when I question them, I get the old "never mind kid" response. Still though, no cause for concern I guess and the record speaks for itself. Years ago I converted my private licence to a European one. The one thing that stood out in the mind of the European examiner was that in N.America we have good hands and feet but lack in knowledge. I tend to agree.
