The big kicker was the flight benefits and the free luggage you get, it was a nice touch but my advice is you apply to all cadet programs you can. Take the bonus money and put it into your savings immediately to accrue interest, and if you decide to go somewhere else you can at least buy yourself out of it. No need to lock down to one Cadet program unless you are sure you want to come here. If that’s the case then welcome aboard!

This guy/gal here gets it. Take the money and stash it, don't dont spend it lol. That way if the tides change between now and then you just hand back the money, minus the interest you have earned on it and walk away to greener pastures. In the meantime enjoy the travel benefits.
