"We're not suggesting we'll stop taking people who have the other experience as well, but if we don't start generating the capability for people to get these other types of qualification then we'll rapidly denude the place of the other types of pilots, the GA guys. They're just not coming up at the speed at which we're going to need pilots."
Interesting in that the J* CP states that a pilot shortage is looming and that is why they need cadetships. Not because in increases the quality of the candidate but that they will run out of pilots.
