The international cadets will, without doubt, press the standards even lower.
In terms of T&C's surely... in terms of quality, quite the contrary, because of the larger pool of cadet candidates.
But to start with, you don't seem to embrace the cadet scheme at all.
I agree with GTC58, on how low hour (straight from school) pilots get to fly jets many years now!
On the military pilots I do have some objections. They have military(discipline), academic and flying education for four years. That can not be compared by any current civil aviation program in the world.
