We fly 40,000+ hours per year training our cadet pilots at Jandakot and Merredin in WA. They end up with a CPL, Command IR, and a jet endorsement, prior to commencing further training in China. And the cadet pilots get paid a training allowance throughout their course. We also hire experienced foreign national pilots to work in China. Australian operators should be required to train Australian pilots in a similar way before importing experienced foreign pilots.
