Use to work at JEA now rebranded BE. From my past knowledge they are financially secure for at least the next couple of years due to a Trustee set up to back the management. Ok to work for as a first job but look very carefully at their bonding methods though I believe Cadets bonding is different.
Great crews and I believe some of the "dross" at EXT had been disposed of. At the minute it is probably as good as you will get but my personal advice would be wait until BA decide to sponsor again, without doubt the best cadet scheme going!! On second thought, if you can, wait go raise the cash in another job until the times get better as there are going to be a lot of very experienced crews competing for jobs.
Hope that helps and isn't too pessimistic.
