Whilst I agree that there may be too many cadets going straight onto jets at the expense of well experienced turbo prop or experienced jets pilots from bankrupt companies, the Monarch thread is the wrong place to have it. Try the Easyjet thread or others.
Monarch have taken on a broad spectrum of new pilots over the past couple of years and in even spreads.
Only a third of each intake were cadets, while all others were either experienced jet pilots from other carriers or experienced turbo prop or ex military people.
Monarch have looked to the long term for experience levels and have done more to help those already flying to progress their carriers than most other UK airlines.
