following on from cynical pilot.....

What is the difference then between the Griffith cadet and the standard CX AE cadet? Is it hours, or ????

This is interesting since Griffith doesn't do any flying training anyway. It is all subcontracted.

So it appears that aussie students use government fee-help loans to get flying training via a private flying school, and may never have to pay back the loans if they never come back to Australia. All this is facilitated by Griffith which presumably siphons off some fees along the way. The big losers here are the aussie taxpayers, and maybe the student if they don't pick up a cadetship.
