It’s not easy to be a CFI, it sure is easy to throw gear part 135 and claim you’re better than the teachers cause you weren’t good enough yourself.
Seniority begins when you walk in the door.
Cadet program is nice, some HR benefit perks and wonderful recruiting tool, but there is no “line for a spot”. The program could be terminated by the company tomorrow.
Pilots fired from a defunct company are in a different spot. Sorry, I gotta pull for them.
