If they don't sufficiently reference check someone and that person turns out to be trouble, it's Altaras problem.
JQ has head office and training centre in Melbourne and all if SYD MEL and ADL crew do yearly EP training in MEL facilities. All QLD crew do EPs at aviation australia in bne- they have doors and a cab trainer up there so ground schools can be held there also.
It dosent really cost them much to fly crew and trainees around (and Altara are the ones paying for accomodation- don't get me started on that) but it's more about use of the facilities because both MEL and aviation australia are booked solid with other airlines doing eps etc too.
