ATPL subjects?
Qantas Trainee programme lists minimum requirements as all ATPL theory passes. Most of the people I know in NZ with CPLs up to 1000hr GA pilots have no ATPL subjects. Is this the same for OZ?
ie: for someone with CPL or even someone with up to 1000 hrs to apply for this, they'd need their ATPL subjects. Now, if you haven't done any of them and you decide to do them part time while working, and do them at a rate of 1 every two weeks, we're talking about 14 weeks...and realistically it will probably take a significantly greater amount of time..So effectively you either do them full time which would involve binning your job (which is probably not an option for those of us who like food or shelter) or you take the next 6 to 9 months to get your ATPLs part time if you want to apply...or can you apply and tell them you'll have the ATPLs done by the start date of the course in the event you get accepted?
It sort of limits the applicant pool in my mind...while you're busy charging the cadet for this that and the other, why not offer an ATPL theory course (at a price of course...this isn't Cathay we're talking about...) as well and that way you widen the applicant pool, presumably being able to pick 'better' cadets? Can anyone shed any light on this situation?
