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?
You seem to me to be deliberately twisting what Clare said. On my reading, Clare isn't "sneering" at the candidates. Clare is criticising those who are manipulating the candidates.
All of the graduate "Doctors, Nurses, Dentists, Lawyers, Surveyors [and] Engineers" I know have really good post-graduate jobs.
