Tempo, Muff et al...
Seniority/cadets/CIPP/Paid for a job blah blah blah. Get over it. It is what it is. It aint gonna change. Maybe the cadet program will die out, maybe it wont. If it does, when the economy turns around...you can bet your bottom dollar it will be back quick smart.
Just because someone has done time in GA, doesnt mean they automatically deserve a place in QF/J*/
VB whatever. There are plenty of nuff nuffs who think they 'own' a slot in these airlines just because they've been in GA. Pisses me right off. To balance the above...i completely agree that there are some cadets and people from other flying backgrounds that are also muppets, and also believe a slot is theirs. Again pisses me off. Anyone who got into these airlines did so ON THEIR OWN MERITS....no-one should be ostracised etc just because of their backgrounds.
