stevieboy,
Seems like competition(RAAF/QF) put's you off! Believe me when I say that the difference is miniscule.
You can compete vigorously for a slot in RAAF, Army or QF, and IF you are successful, be virtually gauranteed of a job.
OR you can go along to this full time flying school, who's ONLY requirement is your ability to pay, get a licence, and be flung out the door at the end in an unemployable state.
You can then compete with the many hundreds of other chaps and chapesses in a similar position for the very limited and very poorly paid GA jobs.
If your very lucky you'll score a flying job of some discription and slowly build up some experience over several years to a decade, then you will compete VERY vigorously with thousands of other hopefulls for an Airline job. And believe me that is a pure lottery!
Chuck.
