Low time cadets require extra training. Trainers are in short supply so there is a limit on how many cadets can be recruited. Hence they may no longer be interested in further low time cadet pilots. Which is perhaps why they are organising for experienced Quantas pilots to come and work for EZY for a year as they are not terribly needed in Oz.
If you all took your eyes off the prize of a Boeing/Airbus you'd find that there are plenty of regional turboprop jobs out there.
