Scam, I think that there may be an agreement on most levels, Mike seems to infer that at his airline, they have realised that the 200 hour cadet requires substantial extra training and experience before the cadet can be deemed safe to operate as an F/O.
Qantas does the same thing.
cadet systems are not inherently dangerous. Properly run and resourced they do work.
Again, Qantas is an example of this. The point that is being made is clearly that the Jetstar program is a money making / saving scheme, and the incumbent cadets through no fault of their own, cannot be considered safe to be in the RHS of an A320. The Jetstar scheme IS inherently dangerous. It IS NOT properly resourced or run.
Jetstar need to realise this, before a tragedy occurs. Media, you need to read this and report it.
