I don't seem to recall any former cadets here bagging cadetships. This is telling.

FlyboatNorth's comments seem well-informed to me.

Getting into one of the airline cadetships is tough, and anyone offered a spot is lucky and would be crazy not to grab the opportunity with both hands.

One thing I can't figure out is why Jetstar don't just hire Swinburne/OAA graduates, rather than bother with cadets.

Hi Ted,

that's interesting.

Is there a limit to the ratio of JFOs to other pilots?

Are all of the JFOs cadets?

How does Jetstar make a profit from Cadets?

Money for training goes to OAA/CAE/Swinburne, not Jetstar.

The 30-odd grand for an A320 type rating goes to CAE/OAA in the UK.

Speaking to some of the Jetstar cadets it appears the biggest problem is that OAA has become too big and disorganised. I also guess all of the ownership changes going from GFS to OAA to CAE in a few...

Virgin and in the past Qantas have also offered "cadetships". Very similar to the Jetstar Cadetship.
