Its all wheeling and dealing and the old boys network.

Unfortunately the person that thought the tagged cadet schemes up failed to see that they were actually completely screwing the market up for the self finiance group.

Basically there is no way you can fast track to a jet now unless your on a tagged scheme. In fact a large % of the tagged jobs are now onto TP's. And the sales reps are sniffing any possibilty of placing students on a tagged schemes just to get the numbers through. It doesn't matter if its one job or 20.

I completely agree its about as good as you get for the student just now and expect it to get worse.

Whats going to happen to the training market will be interesting to see as the tagged schemes don't have enough going through to support the current training capacity.

Even if you banned modular from airline jobs there still isn't likely to be enough demand for quite some time if ever to even remotely fill the big three schools.
