CXmonkey,
Come on, you're a current CX employee? If you feel the need to 'put off' cadets, really, let's base it on proper arguments, not hearsay and scare tactics.
If you're injured, or were unlucky enough to lose a loved one, let's look at what CX currently does for crew: time off, and it's paid if it's due injury (albeit not at your full salary). Of course, if you're 'not yet paid', ie: not yet started your rating, and 'on hold' after your course in Adelaide, they might not pay you, but then they weren't up until that point anyhow.
Airplaneridesrfun:
Where on earth do you generate the argument that a student pilot, sent to training in Oz at the company's (paid) request, would require an employment visa??? That's a seriously flawed argument. If anything, they may require a training visa, and that's undoubtedly provided.
Betpump5:
You're pretty active at stirring things up, right? This is a rumour forum, to some extent, but at least have the balls to admit you were wrong.
The short course has been approved. It will start later this year. It does apply to cadets with more than 250 hours
We all know that the cadets are becoming a way for the company to recruit, without paying so much later down the road (ie the big one: housing), but lets keep this discussion factual!
