No. They call a trainee a cadet. Because that is the definition of a cadet; a trainee. Typically used to depict a trainee in a military program, but certainly not limited to that.
Pretty much describes every single one of us, eh? But I is NOT ashamed!

Cadet program was cool.
It doesn't do much for you; you don't do much in return.
No commitment. If you decide to go somewhere else they don't care.
-hire date helps with commuting and your healthcare/retirement/profitsharing benefits kick in right away while others have to wait. That's probably the best benefit.
-you'll be front of the class so you can choose your sim location/time/get your choice of base before everyone else in class
As far as travel for the original post.... Just go mainline (and just go>90 days from class) they have no way of seeing if you are a cadet as long as you don't bring unwarranted attention. I never did mainline but I know lots of guys that did.

Paying your own way to an interview to get a higher seniority number in class sounds like a ****ty deal. I assume this is not the case if you are eligible for an ATP right away, right?
I suppose any effort to drawstring in new hires helps keep classes full. Skywest has set up recruitment tables at Horizon crew hotels - have they done this for other carriers?
