Virgin and Qantas will skim the cream and GA will be left to pick up the pieces when dozens of kids are told that even though you spent $150k you are not up to our standard.

QF just knocked back a couple of hundred good pilots, from all sorts of levels in general aviation, during the most recent pilot recruitment,
a few months ago.

A person cannot expect to be up to airline standard, after only, flying a Piper warrior, Cessna 172, Duchess/Seneca.
Where's the IFR, night, turbine, glass cockpit experience?
A CPL is just an entry level qualification.
Unless a person is airline sponsored, experience and hours are needed to get to bigger and better things.
