IMO the cadet in such a program is really a scab. The flying schools used to be full of them working for free all week for a couple of scab hours being thrown at them for flying at a marginal rate.
Those same Pilots that refuse to leave the eastern suburbs in Mummy and Daddys pad will be all over this. They don't want to move north and have to work for a living! This to them is the dreaded truth of aviation that they would try and avoid at all cost. I met heaps of them in the schools.
I have no problem with cadets in the right program where the airline pays and gives you an SO slot with a career ahead.
This program stinks.
J3, love your work about the wannabes hahahaha cracked me up!
