Again, the prospect of free training in 61 weeks as opposed to paying 100kAUD (900kHKD) and having to get hours up over the period of 4-5 years by your own will power and motivation is very appealling to people who have 0 hours.
Firstly, it is not free training. You will be bonded for 6 years, break it - then pay $$$. You will also be leaving with hardly any experience!
If you decide to leave as an S/O you will not have a command rating endorsement or a co-pilot rating endorsement on the aircraft you flew. If you leave as a JFO/FO you will only have the a hours you accumulated once in that position. A pretty small amount for 6 years of flying and no financial savings since the housing deal is now crap!!

Secondly, if you have Zero hours... then sorry, you are no longer eligible as there is now a requirement to have a minimum of 250hrs. Surely you knew this though, since you are from recruitment
