It is interesting the criticism of this scheme, but I can tell you that it is a great start to a flying career if you are able to finance it. I know loads of ex-cadets who have gone on to bigger and better things.

Most are in their early 20's once their commitment to Jetstar is completed, I know a few who are now A320 FO's at Air New Zealand and a couple who are A380 FO's at Emirates. Of the ones who stayed in Jetstar, 2 of them have been allocated A320 Commands at Jetstar (NZ), one is the A320 Technical pilot and two are now Type Rating Instructors on the 787.

So, it may not be everyone's cup of tea, but for those that commit it is the fastest way for a young guy or girl to get their career on the fast track.
