You asked why LCCs want cadets despite the great number of unemployed experienced pilots out there? The previous couple of posts contain a big part of the answer. Because it's easy to give your own...

For the next 3 years until 2024, RYR expect to grow by circa 115 aircraft. That's data from their official website, taken at face value. Just...

It doesn't have to be curtains when demand is high, let alone that you can't run an airline on cadets alone. There have to be experienced FOs. Quite a few have to make it until command, especially...
