In Command Under Supervision (ICUS) Includes all flight time when assigned as co-pilot acting in command under supervision as defined above:ICUS may be logged as follows:
a) in log books with single and multi-engine ICUS columns, the flight time is logged accordingly and is included in the Grand Total Hours;
b) if the log book does not have an ICUS column then ICUS may be logged in the Pilot in Command column as long as it is clearly identified as ICUS and the pilot in command is also identified;
c) alternatively, another unused column may be used to log ICUS
In Command Under Supervision (ICUS) The conditions for logging of ICUS are at CAR 5.40 and include the following:
- the pilot flying ICUS must hold either a CPL or an ATPL;
- the pilot flying ICUS must make all decisions relevant to the safe operation of the aircraft;
- the pilot must hold a command aircraft endorsement for that type;
- the pilot must hold a command instrument rating if the flight is conducted under the IFR;
- the operator must permit the person to fly the aircraft as pilot acting in command under supervision;
- the pilot in command of the aircraft must be appointed for the purpose by the operator of the aircraft.

Air Transport Pilots may fly an aeroplane as pilot in command or co-pilot in any operation. An ATPL is required to command a large airline type aircraft. Note: The above requirements apply to aeroplane pilot licences. Similar requirements apply to helicopter pilot licences, commercial balloon licences, gyroplane and airship licences,
They need an ATPL and seeing that 250 hours PIC is required and a command endorsement is needed to log ICUS I doubt a command is probable but not impossible. It's up to J* and seeing that they intend to make big $$$ from this cadetship iam guessing the cadets will be shown the door after their contract expires.
