One can just see the reality TV show hype, when the first gay disabled aboriginal pilot graduates from the Big Roo Flying Academy at Tamworth.
On winning the Honourable Barnaby Joyce best cadet trophy, the new Qantas pilot told the audience how he had a dream to fly ever since seeing one of those clapped out flying machines land at their remote Arnhem community bringing in supplies of traditional KFC.
His vision was to be a pilot with the worlds safest airline, and truly thanked the management and the incredible HR support team for giving him that opportunity. He looked forward bringing his life experiences to flight deck, and hoped one day to be the B787 fleet manager and then eventually CEO of Qantas.
