Hi Chance, if you compare apples to apples, Aviation Australia has the same accreditations as ATAE, so only benefit would be any 'cheap' aged plant & equipment. Yes you are right, my experience with similar govt. contracts is that there is always an automatic termination clause, if that company was to go into administration, so those students on funded programs (such as the apprentices), would automatically be passed over to another preferred supplier. Their funding bucket goes with the student. Considering there are no other training providers now in the Aviation Engineering market place, Aviation Australia would be the beneficiary for ATAE's engineering enrollments. Chance, it is hard enough now staying afloat as a flying school in this current economic environment, so yes Aviation Australia does have a distinct uncompetitive advantage that goes well beyond Archerfield.
