Very inspirational RF's.
The problem is, this is not WW2.
The problem is, this is not the military.
The problem is, this is Australia not Europe.
The debate of Cadet vs Direct Entry (experienced pilots), has been done to death. Arguments from both sides, but the indelible truth of the matter in Australia is that Cadets are CHEAP!
If you can come to grips with that fact, and the fact that Cadetships in Australia are created by airline management to keep a lid on pilot's wages and conditions, and you feel comfortable with that, then I say.... Fill yer' boots!
