Haha, no CB hasn't gotten to me. I didn't disagree so much with his message, more just the way he presented it. I did have a good chat with him though and he is actually a damn nice guy.
I think all of the wannabes realise that the cadet contract is rubbish - for many (myself included) it is a case of desperation. If your current situation isn't so great, then the prospect of a job in a wide-body jet and a salary certainly has appeal, and yet despite that i still had serious doubts anyway. Can you do better? Considering the predicted growth of the airline industry over the next 10-20 years, then yes you probably can.
Just make sure you know what you are signing up for.
