Cadet Programs, are they worth it?
I realise this has probably been done to death but I was just looking for a bit of advice.
A friend of mine has been offered a position with a regional operator that will cost him a lot of cash and at the end of it will be employed for 18 months in a Metro as FO including 6 months of training. There is no gauranteed employment at the end. He is already CPL but not IFR. Has anyone been through similar programs and how have they fared at the end? Is it worth doing or would he be better off doing the bush thing? How easy is it to get a job with FO time?
Advice is appreciated and please dont use this to bash cadets etc.
