With swinburne/oxford, are the graduates garrenteed a flying position at the end? If not, then it's just another sausage factory, albeit with a fancy name!
The graduating class of 08 &09 are struggling for work from what I see and hear. From what I was told from the 09 class only 2 guys have work flying so far... the 08 class... maybe half a dozen.

Will be interesting to see when the 2011 class of about 120 students or so leaves their doors and hits the GA industry trying to find work

Of course tho last time I was in there a few months ago they were pumping students out like there's no tomorrow and telling them it ain't that hard to find work. Big fancy name aside I could've saved about $10,000 if I did my CPL elsewhere. Money which would be of much use driving around oz right now looking for work
