Balance,
Your descent into profanity is not welcomed in a professional arena. Grow up. Being offensive simply erodes your credibility.
Nor does complete subjectivity help your case. The use of cadet pilots may have industrial connotations but properly handled it is not necessarily a safety issue AT ALL. End of that story.
As for the Jetstar focus....in very recent times QF mainline crews destroyed a 747 at Bangkok, flew a 767 straight through a thunderstorm at OOL, descended way too close to terrain in a 737 near CCK, came very close to losing two 737s, one in an approach to BNE under a clearly evident microburst and the other to very simple incompetence in fuel management en-route to SYD.
Maybe it's time for a Senate Enquiry into QF mainline training and standards? Maybe QF's protected and privileged position has given their pilots and 217 system a cosy sense of invulnerability and smugness that needs a wake up call here and now before it gets any worse. Maybe?
