I'm also disappointed with the specifics of the loan. I thought this "cadet scheme" would help young Mauritians to get to the flight deck. The loan certainly doesn't! In addition to having to provide security we are ALSO going to be charged INTEREST! In addition to no guarantee of a job! I think I'm going to take the risk, but i will be spending the whole of my training worrying about my future....not the best way to be going into flying training!
I agree with BB07...whats the point of running a cadet scheme if the future of the company is in doubt??!
Also, if we are not guaranteed employment then why are we forced to go to 43?? its expensive compared to other places, and the licence you come out with (and I stand corrected) is of little use when you have no experience and mauritian citizenship if you can't get something with MK!
On the plus side, chances are good that employment will follow I believe. And the basic pay is sufficient to live and pay the loan back.
