I don't think [I]most[I]people have problem with cadet programs for inexperienced pilots. Its when the cadet program replaces direct entry schemes is where I have a problem. CX needs future second officers? Get them from the cadet program. CX needs experienced second officers now? Hire them directly! Don't ask 6000hr pilot to come interview and then call them a cadet! Absurd!! Sorry, former DESO poolie.
