I am not heavily for or against anything regarding QF group pilot selection
Simply stating how a system works
You would be incorrect about how things work in USA , only AA have a flow & that is for a small % of intakes , other large 5 don't
Think of it this way if you were hiring engineers for a job , do you think you would get the best by simply hiring out of SA & Tas , disregarding the rest of Aussie
Internal applicants in 2022 represent maybe 10% of total applicants - but will get 50% of the positions , because of the massive advantages that come with being an internal applicant
QF can do this if they want to, but its clear that they are no longer hiring the best available - because most other apps don't get look in or same "perks" if you like
If people want QF mainline , they simply should be aware of what the game is & how to best play it
