No information in the report on the extent of the cadet pilot's "cadetness"

What other airlines have "cadet" pilots?

The A320 doesn't provide over rotation protection?

Glad everyone is OK.

Wonder how this will effect his/her career?

NoStar says s/he went back to simulators for a while and apparently now back at the joystick

Sound like the Cadet got through Swinburn academics then phase 1 and was probably in Phase 2 training for type endorsement for A320.

Very minimal hours........
