I've got my doubts...
REX Cadetship FAQ, from their website, read this one carefully
.
There are several things that bother me about this:
5) Being stuffed in a 'bungalow' with 7 other cadets and sharing a room.
6) "...
the cadets are expected to spend the nights in self study and research. The cadets are not allowed to leave the academy during the week
" I read that to mean that I can't go out to the shops or to have a beer after hours! Obviously not geared toward married people or people over 16 years of age!
10, 11 & 12) Stiff loan and scholarship conditions that seem designed to trap you.
10% compound interest rate
- calculated from the start of the loan and on the full amount!
Over 7 years that doubles the amount owing!
13) $2 000 penalty for failing probationary period.
17) Advertising that "
A Rex Captain with 5-6 years flying experience usually is suitable for a First Officer position in a large commercial jet aircraft
." - are they encouraging 'poaching'?
Lots to think about there people, makes me very suspicious.
