It seems the cadet 'theme' is here to stay - pending the senate outcome of course.
It is perhaps a little unnerving for those of us with a basic CPL and looking for a job toward the lower end of GA. It would appear that if the airlines are favouring selection of zero hour candidates, the direct entry method may diminish, bottlenecking the traditional GA -> Airline transition. If we look at the tail end of the falling domino's, therein lies the bare CPL, 'overqualified' for an airline, yet unable to slide into the GA game as the longer serving pilots remain fixed.
Im guessing the senate outcome(s) will play a major part in the careers of those new to the industry like myself.
