As much as some say the value of GA flying is the "real" flying necessary before getting into a jet, the reality is most of the world outside Australia doesn't have GA, trains people straight to the right hand seat of a jet after initial training, and does so successfully. Is anyone going to say an Aussie A320 pilot flies their aircraft better than say a BA A320 pilot because the Aussie pilot had spent time in Australian GA whereas the BA guy was trained straight to the jet? I assume the management and training pilots at JQ wouldn't sign off on the cadetship unless they are confident about the program's standards.
