But how many trainees would actually be at the school at Jandakot now ?
Surely it must be a shadow of what it was in the "glory days" when they would have had how many - maybe 100 cadets resident there as they did training for SIA, silk and cargo ?
Brings me to a question really - when the SIA group of airlines were really moving along with their cadetships - how many were they graduating a year ?
Ok I will take a guess and say in the pre GFC boom years - around 120 graduates a year
Some of the Aussie instructors could even join SIA after serving five years at the flying school.
Does anyone actually know ?
