The really sad part about PhoenixNZ's contribution to this thread is that he pretty much had the same conversation about a month or two ago. I'm not sure why he'd think that anyone would have changed their mind about him or the attitude that he's shown.
As I posted in that previous thread, if the J* cadetship is the financially best option for a Kiwi to get his/her aviation career, then I'd have taken a different career path.
Phoenix, just remember, you chose to get into this profession. Remember that in 6 years time when your contract isn't renewed because the crop of cadets are willing to do it for less than you.
If no-one protests against the unacceptable then it will never change. You dont think Martin Luthor King gave up just because the first time he tried everyone ignored him?
