Succesful business?

RC made money by paying his instructors well below award, charging them a training fee which he took out of the already criminal low pay and strung them along for years telling them that they would get into Qantas. To add to this, he charges the students well above market rates for aircraft hire because all these kids are told if you do your flying training here you'll get into Qantas.

He only started paying the award recently because I suspect the Oxford Academy went over his books and asked how he can pay an instructor $12/h and get away with it!

Oxford is owned by SAS so my prediction is we will start seeing alot of European students soon as it's much cheaper to train them here.
