I think we are on the same page.
I am sure that you will find that if the airlines are required to fund cadetships then these arrangements will become a thing of the past in Australia.
All the 'spin' presented to the inquiry so far has focussed on how cadets produce a better product than the GA route and that they are 'safer' or at least as safe. If the Senate Inquiry endorses the cadet route subject to strict rules, including that the airline must run courses in house, sponsor all but say 50k and take the risk on training outcome then I am sure that we will soon see a u-turn on this stance.
As it stands Cadets are taking a huge risk, either they do not realise this which suggests that they do not have the required maturity to operate an aircraft ,or, if they are aware that they have an attitude to risk taking that has no place in a flight deck.
