Yadot,
Have you flown with any of these cadets before? One of them did my line check a few weeks ago! That's right mate, some of them are check captains! Do your research before you go mouthing off. Are you a check captain Yadot? Get real son.
The reason they are getting priority is because they are high quality applicants. Good luck to them. Even the most junior ones who started at QL 3 years ago are great pilots and people. QF will be very happy with the 50 or so they get.
