Im a bit sick of threads being closed. If you arn't interested in it don't read it. Let natural selection take its course and it will disappear by itself when people lose interest. As long as nothing illegal or slanderous is being done what's it hurting?
As for the cadetship, I agree that when it comes to experience it's not so much an issue of how good you can physically fly the thing (although in an emergency it would help...Sully) but more about the mentality of someone who has done it all before vs someone who hasn't. For those of us who have been in the industry (GA) a few years, all you have to do is think back to when you had clocked up 200hrs and you'll realise how much you actually didn't know then.
Its just sad purely from a T&C point of view.
