I think the reason that
JS said that it is nonsense is that the airline has promised to take the cadets back on next summer. So they are "just" stood down for a few months.
I would warn people applying for the scheme to factor this in when working out future finances as I bet it happens again in winter 2013 but I know no-one will listen so why bother! Just go bankrupt like so many others! Soon sorts it all out!
P.S at least one getting returned has been with the airline for over a year! Just as you finally start to earn money.....boom! Bet that isn't in the CTC brochure!
