From what I have heard the CIPP will still be overseen by QF.
I got the impression it would operate how Work Experience does for Year 10 students, QF will point you in the right direction and council you but it is you that has to knuckle down and ask around for the right place.
It also means if a cadet wants to fly in the Pacific then they can, instruct they can. This will mean cadets with more diverse backgrounds than just working for QFLink of Air North. To me this is a positive move?
