When it boils down to it, there are two cultures here.

1. Thinks a 700sf flat is reasonable living including a family and it's more important to drive the latest BMW. So the fact that the CX package allows them to live alone in the same size apartment is a vast improvement.

2. Thinks a 3 bedroom home, garage, a yard with enough room to kick a footy and save for their first car is reasonable.

Which group are/were you?

The cadet package is aimed at group 1 and group 2 with shiny jet syndrome.

A cadet package with a low cost carrier is better than this deal, at least you actually fly once you graduate.

Wait till you're in the lobby of a hotel and a guest comes up to you thinking your are bell boy of the hotel, the one stripe jacket doesn't really cut it.
