Thanks for your thoughts folks.
Mixed comments so I guess the only real answer would come from CX management. It would be interesting to get an idea of which way they are going if any..
Younger (up to say 23), passionate, non-flyers with good school marks?
Older (24+), CPL/MEIR pilots with degrees and ATPLs?
Obviously a good command of english and being a quick learner is what is really needed.
How many cadets do they need?
