what makes you think that after your 6 month "trial" period with the airline that they arn't going to just ship the next lot of new guys in to take your place?
Because the airline pays for the type rating. They pay for base training. They pay for a training captain to sit behind you for your first 'x' sectors. They're not going to want to do that every 6 months for a newbie if they can avoid it! It's a completely lost investment.

The lower salary cost of a cadet for the first 6 months nowhere near makes up the cost to the airline of the training that they put in.

That's what makes me think that after my 6 month TRAINING period they aren't going to want to ditch me, any other CTC cadet, or any self-sponsored employee, if they can avoid it.
