Would not flying be boring if everybody would just go trough the robotic training that is offered by integrated schools.
Yes it would be boring but your point about over supply does not really stand up to scrutiny...

You complain about "oversupply" yet you describe cadet schemes as a "short circuit" in the system. Surely the way to regulate that would be to have only cadet schemes. Then it would be more like doctors right?

The current free for all, is unfortunately not beneficial for anyone, it is bringing the industry to it's knees.
This "free for all" far from being caused by cadet schemes is caused by flight schools being able to train whoever wants to train...

I am not for a moment suggesting that we should try and go down the road of "controlling" the pilot supply because that would lead to all sorts of other problems, I'm just saying that cadet schemes are not the reason for lowering T&Cs.

Organisations like CTC, who both train and then regulate the employment of the people they have trained and have close to a monopoly on pilot supply at some airlines are a slightly different question...
