Just a heads up to anyone interested, the current cadets have been told to wait indefinitely for type rating.. Some cadets are finished and ready, those from the first group, and haven't got start dates for at least the next 12 months! They are all going to need MECIR renewals etc. before they start with out any support for remedial training.

If you do this Cadetship there is absolutely no guarantee on a Job at the end, Jetstar make not one bit of commitment and offer zero financial support.. I would expect that anyone who started this cadetship recently will end up in GA anyhow, at least for some period of time.

Oxford Aviation Academy is extremely expensive, as they abuse the FEE-HELP system. Anyone starting out a flying career should do there research and gain their licences elsewhere!

Please understand that this is not a standard cadetship and dont expect a job with Jetstar at the end.. Many current cadets have dropped out and gone to find jobs elsewhere! It is on the other hand a great stream of income for Oxford... '140k x 16 = 2.26million' how much they will get from the 4th group of Cadets when the first group don't even have jobs...
