QF obviously don’t read PPRUNE. Otherwise they would know that they can hire every CX/KA pilot with a pulse, and that cadets that haven’t had 5,000 hours in GA/ military are The End Of The World As We Know It, and a massive safety risk
(Given the state of GA in OZ, this looks like a very sensible idea by QF. If kids no longer are attracted by the old career path of self funded flight school/ hours building/ GA/ hope for job with mainline, then cadets are the way to go)
