Any gripes they had are probably due to minor mismanagement, rather than misrepresentation.
My recollection was that 16 started the OAA course last year, and that 15 completed the training, and are now soon to start their A320 TR to fly for Jetstar.
Sounds like this is what they signed up for and pretty much what they got.
Well if you knew as much about the scheme as you suggest you would know that the a320 endorsement is part of the course. At this stage there is no whiff of a job.
The employment offer comes later. You hope!!!
Regards how Jetstar make money. The devil is in the detail. The 85k (increased at Jetstar's discretion) for the advanced course is what the cadets owe Jetstar as the bond agreement is between Jetstar and the cadet. It just so happens that the figure that Jetstar pay Oxford to supply the advanced course including A320 endo is not 85k, it is much less!!!
