Can someone direct me to somewhere where the word "cadet" is even mentioned?
Seems like a lot of assuming going on where QF ever said that they would be training pilots specifically to fill their own seats. And seems more like QF are just sticking their fingers in the training pie. The students wouldn't even come out with trainee first officer mins.
250-500 students shelling out $100,000+ each in Fee HELP - and you can be sure the gov't pays their bills on time - equals a lot of zeros.. of the 22,000 who have registered interest I'd say 21,900 are expecting a job at the end of it.
