Free market? So a flying school that officially has no guarantee of getting you a job at Qantas has Qantas and Pilot Academy in it's name?
How does any flying school in Australia have a chance at competing against a flying school with Qantas in it's name?
What other flight school has unlimited leverage of a national brand?
Even though they officially "don't have a pathway to any Qantas Group Airline" they certainly imply unofficially that you will be ahead of everyone else applying if you train here.
Anyone who studied economics knows that to keep labour costs down you need more workers than jobs. QGPA is aiming to pump out graduates to make this a reality.
You can dress it up any way you want but please stop making out that QGPA is doing a public service.
