It’s really disgraceful the way these visa’s have been abused. It was happening in ATC till the CEO was forced to concede that if there was no ATC shortage then it shouldn’t be on the list. Instead of investing in our kids and their future they just brought in ATC’s from overseas, while at the same time downsizing the training departments.
I was once a CPL and I can tell you I would be mad as hell if I was still trying to make a career as an airline pilot. How the government can buy this is beyond me!
If this was the case then all our pilots would have to come from overseas because without companies investing in training then there will be no Aussies suitable
Contact your local members and make as much noise as you can, tell them Qantas would have very few Aussie pilots if they had to turn up to the interview already qualified on their aircraft. Don’t let it just happen, it’s for your future and your kids future!
