Pete
Is there a limit to the ratio of JFOs to other pilots?
No
Are all of the JFOs cadets?
Yes
I guess they stay as JFOs until they have an ATPL (year or two?) ?
Yes
For a young guy coming thru the ranks working as a Jetstar JFO is still going to be a much better paid gig than doing small charter or instructing work.
This argument has been done to death!
