So where are Qantas going to get 90 instructors from. To graduate 500 students a year, that's how many you will need on the roster. 20 classrooms, accommodation, transport, meals. It's a massive undertaking, $20 million will barely pay for the charts & pencils.
It is delicious irony that for decades airline IR/HR have driven terms and conditions to the point that when combined with a demographic shortage there is simply insufficient supply.
As is always the case with modern Qantas,
spin over substance.
The logistics and practicalities of this are mind boggling, but when the collective understanding at Fort Fumble about piloting and the skillset fits on a postage stamp, then this is reported as though starting tomorrow it delivers 500 pilots..
