Are you sure you know who the cadetship is for? You seem to degrade people for not having enough pubic hair lol, but those inexperienced people are the only ones who should be looking at this programme. Not the best move on your behalf in applying for a cadetship after " a few thousand hours" of flying
The cadet program used to only be for locals. If an expat wanted to join CX they needed to have a lot of experience due to the competition for places. There was a lot of competition as the employment package was pretty good. Minimum hours for joining as an SO were about 3000 hours of which most would be command time on twin turboprops or right seat on jets. Most had far more experience than this.
The only reason inexperienced expats are now getting into CX is because the conditions have been lowered to the point that guys with experience look elsewhere.
