I will confirm the course is at RACWA and their flying instructors teach the student. One guy has gone through so far and upon completion of his MECIR on RACWA's PN68 he was offered a job by Skippers, as the owner of fast track is an ex airline pilot and has great contacts.

The guy that went through was only about 20 but will be in the same boat as most QF cadets in that he wont have 500 hours command and as such will be unable to get a command unless he goes back into GA and flogs around in a 172 doing scenics and if you have been in RPT then jump back into lower GA it would kind of feel below you in a way.

I have heard of plenty of guys in the same situation with 70 hours command and 1000 hours turbine RPT trying to get a gig on a PA31 to be told noway!!

Good on him anyway he is a good bloke and im sure will go far in the industry. Wish i had the same break myself at his stage in his training!
