TO ALL THE CADETS
Please tell me why you deserve to get into Jetstar when there are thousands of suitably qualified pilots in Australia who have a shed load more experience and have done the hard yards.
Because Jetstar decided to recruit cadets. Your beef is with Jetstar management.
You may be super keen and ambitious now at a young age but 10yrs down the line when you're flying with someone who tells you how much fun they had up North, you will regret the fact that you have been a button pusher since the start of your aviation career because you love flying.
Are you saying they had fun up north? Building up hours, being paid peanuts and doing nothing to improve conditions.
If you only want to fly for fun, do not do so at the expense of those who do it for a living
Perhaps GA wages might increase with the lack of pilots out there just building hours for airline jobs at crap rates of pay. Might be a future in GA yet, perhaps even a career, you might even be able to make a living out of it.
