Mr Tos "quote" doesn't leave out the fact of receiving your training at REX for half the price then applying for direct entry at Qantas. That would give REX the sh!ts.
I Agree
I believe this is what many aspiring airline pilots will do. If they can't get into Qantas as a cadet they will do their time at REX and dump them for a major airline once experienced.
With not many people willing to work for peanuts in GA these days REX is going to have serious problems finding/retaining pilots. Especially the ones that can fly in command!
