Queue jumping cadet pilots, with a head full of class room theory in my experience dont carry the same work or team ethos of a hard working GA pilot who's proved himself in the field.
What a crock. In my experience, for the most part, a cadet is virtually indistinguishable from the 'hard working GA pilot'. The differences normally have nothing to do with work or team ethic.
However, after 15 years in QF- two of them as an S/O, ten plus as an F/O and just under two years as a Captain (those latter 12 years spent flying often with former cadets, the 'hard working GA pilot' types and even ex military types- what would I know.
