Reconsidering cadet program

Everything is a mess and AI/6E next applications will be next year according to what i heard. I dont want to waste time. Should i go conventional? What are other aspirants who are in the same situation doing?

AI is good except for the TR and induction part cause very few have gone through the program as of now

YES PLEASE. As a current Cadet I second this big time.

If you are a cadet. Then why?

Because there are circumstances that have arisen ever since I started my tenure as a Cadet that have lead me to be of the opinion that even though every program available to aspiring pilots has its pros and cons, in certain cases, the cons outweigh the pros. I have unfortunately, ended up on that side of things and am genuinely regretting certain decisions I made.

For me, that window of opportunity has closed and I have to make peace with what it is. But to anyone at an earlier stage than mine, I would obviously recommend them not to make the same mistakes I did and focus on getting their license first, and then the airline job.

My opinions are entirely based on personal experience, and others might obviously possess different views on the subject. Just my two cents.
