Job prospects on completion?

The thing that i'm wondering is: what are the real prospects of actually being employed by Qlink soon after completion of the 6-week course? The wording states "a graduate will be offered a First Officer position in QantasLink upon a vacant position being available". That could be straightaway - or it could be a couple of years. While it does seem the industry is picking up, how much immediate need for these new FO trainees will Qlink have? Ie: are there many if any vacant positions now or in the near future?

EDIT:
Also if you look in the faq on the program website, it states: "Upon successful completion of the Trainee Program, Graduates will be offered employment opportunities with QantasLink on a competitive basis, as employment opportunities arise."

How competitive? I wonder how many positions there will be available on each course vs how many FO slots are expected to be available.
