In today's aviation get used to it cadets are here to stay in Oz, like the rest of the world.
It works and has so for years. Like any breed and background some will be great others average and some plain ****e.
Yeah in Oz it's a tough GA road, given the chance eons ago
Would you have jumped in to the right hand seat of a shimmy jet? Don't lie, of course you would.
We are just lucky we couldn't. The GA flying years were the best flying years of my life. Love shinny jets and to be honest I actually feel sort for cadets and mpl who have not and will never have a chance to do the stupid **** and got away with us. Many of our mates didn't rip, does it make us better pilots? Yeah probably.
But cadets straight into the seat, from my experience all pretty darn good! Indo enjoy showing photos of Barons in the bush, strips that look
Like goat tracks, yeah ya do see envy in the eyes.
We were the lucky ones, yeah was tough by a truck load if fun. Don't nag these guys wish them well.
