to a certain extent, the topic brought up is just another version of the expat vs local package debate that has existed long before the International Cadet scheme came along, though i believe CX is currently coming up with certain financial benefits to try to retain these expat cadets when they have enough hours/experience to go for greener pastures.
i hardly think expats will get ripped off by joing the CPP, given the program does give you a (free) headstart to an aviation career, and you aren't forced to sign a life-time bond anyway. as for loyalty to CX... under normal circumstances, i can't see there would be any such sentiment on part of the expat ex-cadet. not unless CX suddenly becomes a warm and loving employer and pays you richly, that is.
