Only if the training output from other schools has decreased. There’s no data from after 2021 that I can find but it would be interested to see if the Academy has had a negative effect on CPLs issued from other flying schools?

After a quick look on LinkedIn, it appears the vast majority of QGPA grads are not working for any Qantas group airline or flying in GA. If anyone has some stats debunking this please let me know. I wonder how long they will hang around before giving up on the Airline Pilot fairytale.
Most on LinkedIn are there because they are putting themselves out there for a better position. Those who have achieved that are less likely to list on LinkedIn.

I have it on fairly good authority the situation has improved with recent grads.
