If pilots are on the 457 list, should they not also be on the National Skills Needs list? https://www.australianapprenticeship...lls-needs-list

If these apprenticeships are still a thing, then flight instructors, which meet the requirement of a CERT IV level for VET, could be employed as apprentices at least until they build enough time to earn an ATPL. As the schools would be paying out less money of their own to employ those instructors, they could then lower the cost of training, which would, at least theoretically, make training available to more people.

Has this been discussed already? I didn't find it in my quick search.
