Keeping cadets and giving them health care, D2 travel, and accruing vacation/sick while actual employees were furloughed was an absolute slap in the face. This is why I have no use for the cadet program.
The problem with doing that is they had already payed them signing bonuses, so by suspending the contract they’d likely lose a good portion of them and the money. As opposed to just maintaining the program for a year and getting their eventual return on investment. The program it’s self is very cheap to operate and relatively self sufficient. There’d be more long term negative effects for the company by ending the program, even if it wasn’t fair.
