The 'bashing' of cadets on this thread seems to never end...
Sure, there are some di*head ones there, but most are generally fine and work quite well. There are a couple who are top blokes who can also fly and operate their aircraft to a much higher standard than most non-cadet pilots.
What many people fail to realise is that having say 5000hrs in the logbook actually doesnt mean ****t. Its quality not quantity. That 5000 hrs may very well consist of poor work ethic, bad habits, poor airmanship etc etc and these traits WILL be carried through their logbook for the rest of their careers. Why are these guys still at Skippers if they dont want to be there??
The cadets however learn to operate according to SOPs, are exposed to more complex machines and mutli-crew enviroment from early on in their careers thus making them more suitable for airline operators. Take a look at where some cadets are now going or about to go...places that alot of guys drool over. Good luck to them, some actually deserve it
