IMHO, in terms of jobs alone, the possibility of sending our jobs overseas presents a far greater threat to Australian Aviation than does the Cadet problem, but the problem having been mentioned, it deserves attention.
The logic being used by the pro-Jetstar cadet lobby is this: "There hasn't been an accident, so therefore it must be OK."
Problem is, there are clear and very serious latent failures thererin. Latent meaning, yet to happen, but just sitting there waiting. GK has very clearly pointed that out in his submission to the Senate enquiry.
This being the case, I would ask, whast price is one life? What price is a hull loss? My opinion, it isn't worth it, and the whole world has gone nuts.
