You're correct that the Qantas Group Pilot Academy does not guarantee you a job, but from what I've been hearing, they do offer you the chance at an interview with Qantaslink and Jetstar. But only a lucky few then get the nod, like 10 to 15%. But no, you don't need extra multi-engine hours if you get in to Jetstar as a cadet. Cadets at Jetstar are on a different training pathway from direct entry FO candidates and join Jetstar with their CPL and MEIR with 200 hours TT. Once in, they do extra sims and go through a slightly longer line training pathway.
