Most cadet schemes are self funded by the cadets so no cost to the airline. The cadet scheme at my airline is paid for by my airline and they make it back in four years through lower terms and conditions for the new cadets pilot. That's why they are prepared to spend such large sums of money paying to train them. For my airline to employ an experienced pilot they would have to pay more than his/her previous airline. Hell will freeze over before they do that.
