Well to be fair VA have not exactly been very open about the terms of loan, repayment plan and salary... Most of the information circulating around here is snippets from past cadets or VA staff that to be honest is still not that clear.
It is just a guess but I think it makes sense.Why put a cadet into the right seat when that means you have to go out and recruit an experienced pilot -- for 70k a year -- to be a SO.
