It actually works fine for everybody involved:
1. Chinese airlines will get their schools and their pilots. All of them on OZ license initially.
2. CASA will be reporting an increase in newly issued licenses and will be patting themselves on the back for an amazing job done.
Folks,
Probably not, in the case of the contracts with PRC airlines.
The training will be done as "students" and the only license issued will be a CAAC MPL.
I am sure CASA will look for other ways of taking entirely undeserved credit, but if CASA treat any of the schools the way China Southern WAFC has been treated, they will be off out of Australia like fartled stawns ----- again!!
Tootle pip!!
