Cadet is quite a loose term these days
And there is the problem, if u want to be classified as a cadet, good luck to you, but if you have earn't and moved on from that, why take it? I am not a "cadet" as i have ATPL on my license, so why should i be treated as a cadet who has just left school? If you want to take it, good luck, but why should you? If you have 1000hrs under your belt, you are not a "cadet" in any part of the world, unless you let the "scum sucking bottom feeders" AKA lawyers and accountnts, dictate it to you. The aviation industry has had a bad time recently, and we will pay for it, because we allowed it to get to this level. I am not saying we will ever see the A scale return, But why did it get to this point? However, not a discussion for now, maybe another thread. But you are not a cadet, unless u just walked out of flight school.
