Lately courses seem to be mostly Sydney hires but its fair to say there will be Brisbane slots available.
Ground schools coming through are still around the 10 mark so it isn't as much as the highs seen in 2018 but they are tiny amounts either, similar to the intakes of 2017. Other aspects of the company also affect the rate at which new hires can come through, for example a large amount of upgrades are happening currently which is taking up sim slots.
External influences are winding down the attrition, quite a few people on hold files at different airlines who have slowed intakes but are now taking more through, so expect to see more movement to external carriers (Alliance, Emirates, Virgin) and also internal transfers to other groups other than mainline.
There experience coming through ground schools is still pretty good with a large percentage getting into the D/E pathway.
