The foundation program is gone, if you were hoping for a spot on that, you can be certain it's not going to happen.
i don't think they would waste their resources and time doing something which they know wouldn't exist any more in the future and also wasting your time too.
They aren't that organised. They constantly waste their resources.
The foundation program was hopeless. The first foundation course had numerous fails in the final sim check in Adelaide, yet managed to redeem themselves on a second and final attempt. The second course only 3 (or 4) of the 10 were offered jobs and the third course which finished about a month ago had similar if not worse result as the second course.
Biggest problem is those guys going for the foundation program don't have to do a sim on their interview day. A LOT of people going for direct entry or the advanced program that DO have to do the sim get knocked back because of their performance to fly on instruments. Without a sim check, the foundation program lets people like that, who simply can't scan instruments get through to FTA, where they come undone as soon as they're checked in the 737 sim down there. By that point they're thousands in debt and have wasted 6 months in Adelaide.
The last of the ordered Q400s arrives early next year and there isn't anything officially planned in terms of fleet expansion after that. There are a TONNE of people now on active hold. I'm not sure how many spots there are to be filled. But it looks like they're getting very close to meeting the quota.
