I didn't think I could loan for a local flying school through government assistance, but I definitely cannot afford either one of them out of my pocket, or get a loan from a bank.

I know I wouldn’t commit to hiring you if I saw it on your resume.
I'd be fine working with QantasLink, in fact I think it would be cool to start off with considering I am living in a regional town myself. But I would, of course, eventually want to move up into Qantas itself.

I wasn't saying that this is the only outcome I wanted, I just thought that must've been the outcome of what the academy would open you up to.

I bet that is one very big hold file.
