"Good decisions come from experience, experience comes from making bad decisions"
Hence I don't support cadetships in any way, shape, or form. I'd sooner see a pilot make a fatal decision and prang a C206 rather than a A320. (I'd rather not read about a crash at all!)
If you think experience ONLY comes from making bad decisions then you're closing off your mind to probably 99% of the information through which you can increase your experience levels. That you base your decision to not support a cadetship on a flawed premise means that you're ending up with a flawed outcome. How do I know this? Not all cadetships are the same, not all cadets are the same, not all cadets come from the same background, not all cadets go through an identical career path post cadetship.
The irony is that your post actually proves your CFI's point. You've made a bad decision with respect to your premise, hopefully you'll be able to now increase your experience due to your poor decision.
