These are not unreasonable questions to ask if someone is taking on an eye watering amount of student debt.
"For example, great chance is just that for the lucky candidate - from college straight into the RHS at QF, with a long and lucrative career ahead of them, To me, any many others, that’s a great chance".
So, it is down to luck and chance? Who is taking the risk? Not Qantas. The risk is entirely being taken by the student and the taxpayer is underwriting it.
If the odds are so good then why won't the banks touch student loans for trainee pilots?
Its sounds like you have a chip on your shoulder over pilots getting loans to get qualified. It’s a scheme open to all.
Do you also sneer at those who take out loans to qualify as Doctors, Nurses, Dentists, Lawyers, Surveyors, Engineers and so on?
The risk is being taken by the individual. It’s no more of a risk to the taxpayer than a student doctor.
Im not sure what else you want. Some people are lucky enough to have a shot at getting into QF, some are not. yes, sometimes it’s down to luck. Right place right time, but that’s aviation the world over.
As I previously said, no other Aussie airline is offering this opportunity. Why would,you be against that?
