Hi 32MP. My post was not directed at you.
As for people dying to get into QF - that is up to the individual. If being a pilot is what you want to do and you are an Australian, I think Qantas is the best option. Things are not on the up and up at the moment but things change.
If it is what you want then spending some money on coaching is not a bad idea. If it improves your performance by 5% - that may be the 5% you needed to get in. You want to give yourself the very best chance. If you don't get in - so what. Something better will come along. But you wont die wondering.
I do not have shares in any company linked in any way to recruiting. But I do believe in the ability to improve in these things by making the most of what you have.
