Yes ....and No
The general belt tightening that is now quite public will affect the Qlink traineeship. It won't stop it completely though. The word is that it is going to be trimmed back to 4 per month. They would probably stop or put the program on hold however it is considered too difficult to restart the trainee program once more pilots are required.
So obviously this will mean that it is going to be a bit harder to get in because they can afford to be more choosy.
