What I don't agree with is that two companies that you control require potential employees to undertake a paid course from your own third company.
Neither do I agree with such a policy, as this has 'cartel' all over it. But it's their train set, so for as long as they don't break any anti-discrimination laws they can set whatever entry rules they choose.
I wonder if a pilot turned up with 1000 hours of Cessna 206/210 time, tropical flying experience, bus licence , first aid ticket, and of course a clean pair of boots and freshly pressed shirt, would they employ him/her? Maybe not. Too many bad habits to be un-learned first, via their 'GA Ready' course.
