Dumiel it takes two years to get a cadet pilot through Basic Training and given the current retirement rate we need them to start now.
Club Class and all expenses paid...Bullshi* they deserve a decent seat because they are going to have to work solidly for the next 2 years just to get through training. After this they have to PAY BACK about £15,000 which means they take home far less than our cabin crew.
The only surprise is why anyone would do it! If they joined as cabin crew the training would last 5 weeks there is less stress no Sim checks no Route checks and it would be 10 years or more before they were overtaken financially by a cadet pilot.
