[quote=atpwannabe;746872]I find it interesting that in the US, PFT and/or cadet programs are frowned upon, whaereas in Europe, Africa, India, the Middle East and some developing countries, we (Americans) embrace the concept. Why is that?

My belief is that what is meant for me to attain in this industry/profession, I will get whether I'm flying 91,121, or 135. Nothing, absolutely nothing, will stop that from happening whether someone else takes the CFI/135 route or the PFT route.

JMO.





In the rest of the world "cadet programs" are not PFT, the airline pays you, and pays for your training.
Its Apples to Oranges.
The US has to many pilots already, they dont need cadet programs
