The ad. is saying only 1,000 hours is needed for them to place an applicant in contact with a regional, it doesn't sound correct.

I'd say a consultancy fee is also payable for their advice.
They sound like a middle man.
Yes, I'd be curious to hear how all that works. The flight times are regulatory and not negotiable by some agency. Maybe they're just casting a wide net at 1,000 hours to catch some people who, in about a year +/-, WILL have 1,500 hours and then be eligible ? But one year can see a lot of changes.

And why would one need an agency in this situation ? Haven't Aussies done rather well dealing directly with the airline ?
