I don't think the company is going to have to worry about sacking the cadets after 6 years, I'm guessing they are going to be leaving in droves anyway.

Didn't the former J* CEO say that he only expected his pilots to last something like 5-6 years?

You won't be "sacked" after 6 years; your contract just won't be renewed. After you've paid back your bond you are replaced by a new cadet (who gets paid a lot less than you to do the same job).

Once you no longer buy your job, they don't want to know you. You are replaced by a new "job buyer".

As they say, "buyer beware"!!!

waren9 you are a F%^^$wit. On what grounds do you base your comments in reference to J* safety and standards? Simply because they are not Qantas? Grow up you child.
On what grounds?

Having worked for 3 other jet operators (none of them QF) I reckon gives me a fair basis for my opinion. Didnt ask you to agree with it.

There is hope for the cadets yet.

Maybe after 6 years they can purchase a 787 endo for a 4 year contract extension.

Yep, buy another job. No end to this generation's spending.

Paying for it all is really going to be a problem though.........

Well, based on what I've viewed in this thread, It doesn't surprise me that Australian airline conditions are in a spiral.
