Is it actually possible to be accepted direct entry? or is a potential hire expected to be put through the mill at Qantas link and the likes.
Most new hires have historically been direct entry.
The subsidiaries historically have not had much luck in coming across to mainline.
Recently the subsidiaries (internals) are making up the majority of SOs.
Arguments from both internals and direct hires as to who is the better applicant.
From my seat, I’d argue there have been good and bad from both camps.
