There are numbers confirming that there has been increase of upgrade failures within some of the companies heavily relying on Cadet pilots.
We are talking substantial numbers, such that they now are getting experienced FO's and DEC's to fill the gaps.

I have heard about this happening with at least 3 major companies!

The failure is not on Tech or Flying skills, but rather No Tech issues!

So I guess maybe it would have helped them if they had some more "life experience" - even if that involved some C172 flying alone, personally I prefer the PA28 - and love taking it for a spin every once in a while!

It's an airplane, no matter if an airliner or C172, different size - but take away all the fancy bells and whistles, and they all fly the same!

It seems some people here rely heavily on the Cadets to assure their retirement package deal!
