A mate of mine just joined a "traineeship" at a major gas company up here and its a 2 year program with everything paid for but you have to give 5 years service otherwise you will be accountable to pay for all your training and everything the company has shelled out for you if you leave early. Many apprenticeships are now doing this as it allows them to retain the staff, because they are like pilots leaving in droves.

Re the QF program, im not entitled to HECS as im a Kiwi, ive lived in Aussie for several years but im looking at becoming an Aussie citizen soon. So im going to go to immigration when im in Perth at the end of the week.

All through school teachers etc said you have to be as smart as a doctor and get the highest grades etc etc otherwise you wont be a ilot, what a load of .

But defintley would like to know more about the program though, at this stage as people have said it only sounds like an idea as theres nothing on their website and no info.
Cheers
