If it did, the Cadet scheme would be flawed big time.
CEPs start off as CAT C SOs, they have to spend a longer period of time as an SO before they reach CAT A status, DESOs start off as CAT B. The shortest time frame a DESO has gone through to JFO would be around 12 months.
Still doesn't bring the cadets anywhere near the times you are talking about.
DEFOs were available on the freighter, but it was a trickle, maybe 2 a month. When they started recruiting DEFOs on the PAX fleet, it was a flood, around 300-400 DEFOs in the space of 2-3 years.
Not that it matters much, but I thought they hired a lot of DEFOs and then changed into the unified FO scheme. Didn't that first happen in 2008?
They do this by not holding assessment boards.
How do they avoid following the court ruling from last year? Wasn't it required after 18 months?
