Don’t get too sold on that Qantas logo in front of the academy logo. It’s a profit centre don’t forget, they will continue to push students through meanwhile the hold file acceptance rate will always fluctuate over time, could be periods in which nobody gets a look in. Have a plan for after the academy if you don’t make the hold file. It’s a bit risky if you ask me, and I’d be looking at other opportunities.
That’s if one even gets in. I’d imagine it would be super competitive.
Military would also enable one in the 30s later on when looking at moving on, to then secure employment potentially directly with mainline or Virgin. It’s no trade secret in this industry, in that the best way into mainline is by having never been on the group payroll previously.
