Perhaps you should be addressing that post to Jetstar Management rather than to the cadets, of which, currently there are none.
No its addressed to the future cadets because jetstar management know that there is a market for this scheme. Read through the posts and you can see the desperation of pilots with actual experience looking to sign up for the cadetship and selling themselves short on terms and conditions. Without a market the airlines wouldn't take this route.
And it very much sounds like you, and eocvictim are saying that Jetstar owes you a job because you've been flying in GA for 1000's of hours.
No I never applied to Jetstar because I don't believe in paying for a type rating. Whislt flying a jet was my dream, Its definately not as exciting as GA was. I enjoyed every bit of GA and had alot of fun. I fly with cadets but I'd rather have someone with some GA experience and I know there are plenty of suitably qualified pilots slogging it out just to get a Jetstar interview.
