Great Western Airlines Scam
The Australian aviation scene has reached a new level of depravity.
I have understood that the practice of paying for an endorsement to get a job has been in play for several years now and unfortunately looks like its here to stay.
I have also heard about the scheme of inviting 20 people to a ground course when there is only 2 jobs - O'Connors began this little trick several years ago.
Great Western Airlines has raised the bar by employing the above two methods along with trying to charge $750 for the pleasure of sitting in on the ground course. (Coupled with a $150 non-refundable deposit).
The final twist in this audacious scheme is that even if you do manage to excell in the $750 highly contested ground course, pass a simlulator ride, pass an interview, pay for your minimum $7000 endorsement - you still MAY BE offered a CASUAL position.
I am sickened - take up this offer at your own peril and I hope you can sleep at night.
