Jetairfly Cadet Scheme - Turning The Tide?

[stijn]

Hi,

I must agree with maxed-out.

I think there are about 800 Belgian qualified Belgian pilots looking for a job as a pilot.
From this 800, no doubt, there are many good and intelligent pilots. And from these good intelligent pilots, probably even a few who want to ‘pay2fly’.

So why this cadet-training? There is no need. There are enough,no…way too many pilots available. So no, it’s NOT a good sign.

I believe it’s a way to keep someone working in a ground-function for 4 years at least. The trainee will never dare to complain. And the company “pays” him partly with training. This reduces the labourcost. Brilliantly seen.
I got the image of a cart driver dangling a carrot in front of a mule and holding a stick behind it.

Maybe another reason is the board wants a nice small twin for themselves… Just guessing :-)

There’s nothing positif. Another kick in the face for the already qualified pilots. Smart new method to take advantage of wannabe pilots.
