Great...........more useless cadets
Really?... I've flown with plenty of useless former GA and Military pilots!

2 years my application has been in at Virgin... thousands of hours turbine..... never got a call. Let's just hire cadets instead.
Maybe you are not what they are looking for?

This can't be right. From reading these pages Virgin has been specifically designed to make pilots happy. It's the model to which all currently profitable airlines must aspire. There must be some mistake
When did Virgin return a bigger profit than QF?, (mind you the current QF management is flawed) $550m for a year isn't bad, even with the use of cadets.

I feel for guys just starting out in GA as these cadet courses are starting to block the career progression of GA pilot's. The more cadet's there are in regionals the less jobs available to guys from GA.
There have been cadetships since.. who know's when, and plenty of pilot's still got jobs in Airlines... I feel sorry for people becoming pilots too.... why would you want to invest your life in this crap.... evidently driving a garbage truck pays more! ($300 per night)
