Passed the airline interview now fund the type rating
A question for the legal fraternity. An Australian airline offers a job on condition you pay for the type rating on their aircraft type. Another condition of employment is you must buy the type rating from the training provider in Australia nominated by your airline. You compare costs between the type rating in Australia and an overseas provider, and discover the overseas provider is half the cost - and is also CASA approved for licensing purposes. Is the Australian airline condition of employment (must use the local provider they nominate) a restriction of trade?
