But as a member of Gen Y (who is not a Jetstar cadet) I like to think that it's a issue of Naivety from being young not being part of Gen Y.
Yeah mate, I admit it's easy to make generalisations. But I'm wondering where these guys parents are, if my kid came to me asking what I thought I'd be pointing out what they are setting themselves up for? Do they understand how far behind the eight ball they are putting themselves? They will not even be able to get a second job to chip away at the debt.
Naivety in this case is a little hard to justify, if you are intelligent enough to get yourself a CPL, ME-CIR etc you should have the smarts to be able to workout how much of a rip off this scheme is.
It keeps coming back to the return on investment you are getting, at the end of 7 years (or whatever it is) who knows where pilot conditions will be?
