The school at Parafield is for abinitio through to CPL, I understand, to supply (Japanese) F/O's to JAL Express.
Apparently All Nippon Airlines (ANA) is telling final year school students that if they first pay for their flying training, ANA will reimburse them in full, and employ them, once they successfully complete their CPL's.
This is how airlines in Japan are attempting to fill their need for pilots, as the shortage increases.

On your tack, Home Brew, JEX have reportedly told PARC that they are going to need 200 gaijin (non-Japanese) Captains to fill their crewing requirements for the MD and the 737NG, over the next couple of years.

"The airlines with the most pilots, wins" (or cancels services)!
