No cadets whatsoever at my company, from OAA or anywhere else. I've never been turned down for a job either. Thanks for the concern though

Our experiences obviously differ. I have found that pilots from a more varied background do better in the bizjet line of work than (generally) those from the airlines. Jet handling can be taught. Initiative and the ability to 'get on with it' less so. Low time pilots who thought they were being groomed for the airlines have performed particularly poorly perhaps because they see anything other than straight to the RH seat of a Boeing or Airbus as a comedown.

Horses for courses I suppose but the latter seem a bit slow at picking up on the other aspects of our operations.


Edit to clarify. I could have bought a type rating, I chose not to. Amateur psychologist on the side?
