Not sure how you think that’s the best decision in a pandemic when you need an airline to provide base training to even have anything written on your license?
Some lost money or worse had nothing to show for it after already spending large amounts and weren’t re-approached for a job.
If I remember correctly Cityflyer told their cadets to finish getting a license (no matter which school) MPL or ATPL, and when the time comes, they will be offered employment, they just couldn’t put a date on it. A very fair and reasonable solution given this situation back then.
The program gives you a conditional job offer. Emphasis on conditional, and nothing more. It can be taken away. Please don’t solely listen to ATO sales teams telling you what you want to hear
It was the first a pandemic hit the market like that, so the fact that the situation was not managed in the best way possible is understandable.
