ChinaB does have a valid point on a crucial matter; icadets are not pilots in the accepted sense and will live with the sub-grade stamp for the rest of their career. In the same way that a burger flipper at McDonald's will never be a chefs, icadets will never enter the realm of 'flyers' except in the words of turned pilot managers who financially gain from their seat occupation.
It's not personal. They just don't have the experience to qualify their judgement, nor the skill to save the day when computers and SOPs fall short. And if anybody with experience in training and checking tells you different then they're lying. At the end of the day you get what you pay for.
Sure. There may be a prodogy or two with golden hands and wisdom far beyond his years, but they are far between and certainly do not reflect our average one striper.
If the future is icadets then the future is pilotless.
