Betapump - "This needs to stop. Right Now" Hahahaha Tell me you're joking. It's called P.P.Ru.Ne. So I think rumors, facts, and personal opinions are all fair game here.
+1 to Boxjockey's comments.
I have a few former students (who are HK locals), that entered Cathay as cadets 5 years ago. I supported them and helped them prep for their cadet interviews. It's just not for me with my experience.
I have every right to point out that I'm now being offered a worse job, for about half the compensation, as the job I was offered two years ago.
I have no intent on making any low time pilot feel bad. The cadet program seems great compared to most entry level jobs, but cadets should be aware that this opportunity is significantly lowering the ceiling on their careers.
But I would like any pilot with 5000+ hours who is thinking of taking the pay cut to accept an entry level job to stop and ask themselves what they are worth.
