Cadets

The latest 'Flight' magazine includes a progress report on the accident investigation of B737 ET409 near Beirut. The report indicates the dissparity of experience between captain [20yrs.10,000hrs] and copilot [673 total hours].
This situation will often lead to a copilot unwilling to criticise the captain and vice versa a captain unwilling to heed criticism from an inexperienced co.
The Jetstar cadet scheme will replicate this situation with possible dire outcomes.
