Over the past couple of years I've met about a dozen current or former Jetstar Cadets.
They all seems pretty enthusiastic and motivated.
The two complaints I heard were:
* OAA was a bit disorganised about the flying, and the cadets had to compensate for this by being a bit more motivated and pushing harder to get the training done.
* There was little or none contact between Jetstar and the cadets during the training.
Overall they were happy, although a couple thought the Virgin cadetship sounded better.
Cadetships are here to stay and will grow.
