I'm currently in FTA taking CPL MEIR and I'm currently in the flying phase and so far, the course is pretty challenging for me. The ground instructors and the flying instructors were very professional, knowledgeable but not too strict which is good. As for the training standards, the school will train us exactly the same as how they train the Cathay Pacific cadets.
CASA (Civil Aviation Safety Authority) is really strict regarding safety which is why Qantas is the world's safest airline and the school uses the same standard that CASA set which I think is great.
