I've met a dozen current and former Jetstar cadets.

None suggested that anything significant was misrepresented.

Any gripes they had are probably due to minor mismanagement, rather than misrepresentation.

My recollection was that 16 started the OAA course last year, and that 15 completed the training, and are now soon to start their A320 TR to fly for Jetstar.

Sounds like this is what they signed up for and pretty much what they got.
That's not the misrepresentation to which I referred, as I suspect you well know.

I'm talking about the simple, deliberate corruption of the English language, in order to make something appear to be what it's not.

If you or the illustrious employer can come up with a word which accurately describes this system of trainee-funded recruitment, your defence might have some weight. (Hint: "cadetship" ain't it.)
