Out of curiosity, does anyone else find it a bit strange that the so called "good" operator is thretening not to accept an application because of fair questions asked by someone who doesn't know aviation yet? I mean what injustice is being done to the current cadets by opening this thread? Sounds like everyone that's worked there was happy enough but i get concerned when I hear an employer talk like that. Especially when it's on PPruNe of all places!
Good for you, your concern is noted...
It reflects a work ethic, IMHO. The Original Poster was told what to expect from the horses mouth, and then began to question things, despite having little to no knowledge about the industry.

If you are having such doubts about it, then it probably isnt for you. Going bush isnt the most glamorous thing i have done, but its certainly been a lot of fun. I can see why most would want to fast track their careers as pilots, but smelling some roses on the way isnt such a bad thing.

Yeah I get the work ethic concern but I don't think peugeotboi was ever after a comment from MS. If he wanted that, then he could have just sent off an email or picked up the phone to get the advertisement info. I will admit though, no point asking the same question twice when it's already been answered...
Yes cadetships do cost money in Aus peugotboi. No matter which airline it's for.
I can't see anything being asked on PPRuNe harming your application though. Not unless you state your name anyway!

Well maybe pergeotboi showed up to the interview with a tell tale tie pin, or drove there in his very own Mi-16....
And what he said was silly, MS answered hIs question rather failry. and the newbie starts questioning why it costs???

Purely a misunderstanding of the word "cadetship" I think. My point about peugeotboi not wanting to speak MS but actually the guys who have done the cadetship is that it's not whether the question was answered but who it was answered by. For example if you wanted to work for a different airline and started a thread to ask people whether it was a good airline or not and the CEO/GM wrote a reply saying that it was a great airline, you wouldn't exactly say you got your answer. I understand that the questions asked from peugeotboi wouldn't be the sought you'd ask your employer, but I can understand him asking fellow PPRuNer's.

You honestly wont get far in life if you want to get payed for everything. To get things you need to do the hard yards, its not just going to magically appear on your front door step and you get off the couch and open the door and its there. The ones that have currently succeeded have put everything into it, and deserve all the credit.

You will be well placed to buy your next job at Jetstar!
Looks like now that Rex, the link and Jetstar have cadet programs the quality of the participants in the Sharp program have somewhat slipped judging by the ramblings of the above poster.

And yes it does matter, as one of my Employers in PNG once threw a resume from someone who actually met all requirements for a job with us into the `circular filing cabinet` purely because it was full of spelling and grammatical errors. His reasoning was that if the applicant was that careless with his English language skills he could also be just as careless with his flying.
Possibly a long bow was being drawn and the Boss even admitted so but he was not prepared to pay to bring this individual up from Australia and put him through all checks to line and find out the hard way.

I started GG to do a bit of stirring, turns out I enjoyed the persona
