Well said CB, I hope those who did not understand your disapproval of the CX cadetship before can understand where you guys are coming from. It's not the casetships, it's the lowering of the standards and that's what this current CX cadetship has done. As for the likes of the VA casetship I hope cadets will not get paid less than line pilots once checked to line. The you being lucky statement was wrongly worded on my part, I do apologize. I meant the luck you had was in the external things you couldn't control, like your company was hiring at the time (could have frozen recruitment), and was offering a good package (could have offered a crap package) etc, everything else is definitely kudos to your hard work no doubt. Since you're probably more in the loop than some CX pilots about CX, what do you think CX will do when these iCadets are competitive for other airlines? Improve the package and/or bring back B-scale? Would you apply for CX again if they brought back B-scale?
