Cathay Cadets Stopped From Flying Solo

The perfect employee. Beats those pesky gwailos hands down.

What stands out to me is calling training flights 'missions' as though they were a military goal that must be completed; perhaps this encourages get-there-itis. I also wonder if language differences are a contributing factor.
I read that any issues have been sorted and the Cathay trainees will be in the air again this week.
It was a pretty minor issue in the first place when one considers the number of cadets in training in any one year.
A couple of the incidents though may have involved disciplinary rule breaking conduct and breaching their contract terms with Cathay and if so I feel that they may be in serious trouble and possibly be let go.

1. huge cockup, resulting in damage to the aircraft
then either:
2a. didn't notice that they cocked up AND that there was damage.
or:
2b. Knew they cocked up, then tried to hide it/ get away with it without mentioning it to the flight school/ maintenance/ the next pilot, putting the next pilot's life in danger.
This is both a skill issue and very likely a moral issue.

Our school used to use one non-towered airport, often to practice crosswind take off and landing
Well, the cadet was taken there on the checkride and set up to land on the short runway with a crosswind when a long runway was available with favorable winds, and disrupted the pattern. A learning experience for all.
One of my Chinese airline cadets failed his PPL ride for traffic pattern operations/judgement

I truly believe they are really not up to the required level as I've flown around those guys... I'd rather be on ground.
Nothing really. Other than cultural factors may have influenced integration of what the cadet learned to that point in the course and thus his decision making in comparison to a Western student of same age and flight hour experience.
You are hilarious

Apologies if my context was unclear.
I was not intending to indicate that I considered the individual cockup were not serious - most would agree that they clearly were as seeming was the attitude of the perpetrators.
The point that I seemingly failed to make was was that I believed there was an overreaction by the school that was taken up as a tabloid story by the normal culprits.
Our youngest boy just finished training in AU and found the both the school and instructors excellent as were the 20 other cadets which included 5 HKG ex AIS boys.

Congrats on your youngest finishing training, certainly a good time to hit the job market for him/her.

Totally deserved but still damage and we will all suffer for it.
I, for one, would be very happy to see a reduction in student training at my base airport. Maybe then tower will go back to accepting normal traffic patterns (circuits) instead of the two counties patterns the Aeroguard students are taught to fly.
Fly the aircraft you are in, not the one you hope to fly a year after graduating.
