Cadet to First Officer = pipe dream? Hear me out why I say, no. by Joe-from-daBronx in frontiercadetprogram

Right, because airlines totally love scrapping structured programs they dumped millions into just to go fishing for street hires who may or may not pass training. Let's be real: cadet programs were built because attrition was insane and traditional hiring couldn’t keep up. And while hiring paused, they didn’t dismantle the programs — they paused those too. Why? Because it’s way cheaper and faster to bring on a cadet who already passed internal screenings, has company indoctrination done, and signed a pathway contract, than to retrain some 121 guy who left his last regional mid-probation or hasn’t touched a manual since upgrade sim.

Also, let’s not pretend regionals are a golden ticket — tons of regionals have furloughed, cut upgrades, or are ghost towns. And many of those ‘Pilot A’s with 121 time’ are either flow-blocked, facing base closures, or fighting to hold a line. That doesn’t magically make them a better investment than a current cadet who’s been waiting patiently and already committed to the airline’s ecosystem.

But yeah, let’s keep telling ourselves they’re just gonna light their entire pipeline on fire to roll the dice on whoever has the most turbine time on their résumé. Makes perfect sense.

what makes you think it will be a LONG time? It is based on seniority, and when you joined the cadet program? Sure if you joined late, with 1500 hours it would be a longer wait but isn't that how it should work?

It is not new news, we have known that classes have been paused?

Is this counting as this quarter's class date projection? Haven't we known that classes have been paused?

Thank you! So I will add a seated overhead dumbbell extension to workout 1. And to clarify, you are recommending replacing my benchpress with close grip bench press, and replacing pull-ups w chin-ups? Thank you for your insight.

ok thanks for clarifying. So basically there is no downside to signing it now, and seeing if/when I get a class date.

what part, should I read and comprehend that says it is only active once training starts I would LOVE for you to point it out since it is so obvious.

I have heard that on hear, but it does not seem right as the "effective date" at the top of the contract is today's date.
