If you cant see where this scheme is leading then no amount of experience will be enough.
Mine is not a point of view, I'm simple stating the facts. Jetstar openly admit that this cadet scheme is modelled on the UK system and this is the way they want the industry to head. Now look at the UK and tell me what I've said is anything but truthful, however bleak. You only have to open your eyes to see what is happening.
Like I've said, I was lined up for one of these schemes in the UK. I still wore rose coloured glasses back then. I thought it was a great opportunity to get my foot in the door, build up a bit of jet time and come back to Australia. However like any half intelligent person, I took the time to read into the fine print, do some research and finally recognised the whole thing as a scam. What more experience do I need? To have gone through it and be bankrupt? There are plenty of other people out there in that situation.
