Just in terms of the thread title and bringing the most up to date information , can anyone currently from either airline post the plus and minus of each. Or even better if someone left one to join the other and their experience.
The plus side for my friends who are at the red and white team as cadets in comparison to the blue and yellow are things like:
You receive wages during your line training which allow you to "live" , I have heard a few time of cadets sleeping in their cars!!
Not required to pay for your own uniform.
I believe but am open to correction , crew meals supplied.
Hotels payed for , no need to pay upfront and reclaim , which could be difficult for new cadets who are just keeping their head above water financially.
Again I am no way defending any of the above conditions etc and know they should all be given from day 1 , but unfortunately this is not the case.
Would love to get thoughts on above.
