Got any evidence for that?
Like it or lump it if you want to get a start in one of the two major airline groups in Australia you are now probably going to have to attend either of their academies. I can’t see VA taking over an entire airport’s well established training facility to only churn out a handful of trainees per year. The total number of trainees that are being talked about would be more than enough to cover most of each group’s required numbers.
Will every graduate of one of these academies get a start in a major airline? No but most will.
Will every new hire at a major airline come from the respective academy? No but again most will.
There will still be an alternative path to enter a major airline but it will become very narrow after both academies are up and running.
