That’s not to say it won’t be a leg up once they do go and get a GA job to build hours for a few years (especially now considering COVID), but it’s hardly a cadetship by any stretch of the imagination. Best tactic would be to treat it as a year-long job interview, do the very best you can, go and get those multi hours up and then try and get in through the talent pool.
FTA still trains other airline cadets from the academy too, currently a batch of IndiGo ones are going through. Overall it really is just a glorified FTA CPL VET-FEE course with an airline badge stamped on top. Will be interested to see in a few years time if the talent pool actually eventuates to anything.

I would be interested to know where the academy is suggesting all of these new pilots get jobs in the next few years. I suppose that isn't really their concern if they're only a training facility and Qantas hasn't said any of the graduates are guaranteed jobs. By the looks of it they will have around 100 students in the academy by the end of the year.

Was nothing more than a way to make $$$, and yet suckers still fell for it.
Now they will be over $100k in debt to mummy and daddy with no chance of a job in aviation anywhere in the next 2 years.

at a pretty good interest rate for an unsecured loan.
So, that would make the comparison rate a bit of a joke.

250 flying hours, CPL, MEIR, ATPL and MCC in one year for $150 000.
How much time and money would it cost to do everything the QANTAS academy is offering at another flight school?

You obviously have no clue what a comparison rate is. Like a lot of pilots, financial management is not a strong point. Hope you're not doling out financial advice with your flight lessons.

Maybe if I'm mentioning rates and course fees I'm effectively referring to a comparison rate?
Nah, you best take those regs back to whichever flight schools garbage bin you lifted them from.

I don't trawl garbage bins for regs, the amendments are all kept up to date. I don't teach subjects with out of date regs, that would be wrong.
Let's keep up the little tit for tat, I quite enjoy so called experts making dickheads of themselves.
Well, no you weren't, you said it was a pretty good rate. You just don't like your lack of knowledge being pointed out. If you say one thing but mean another then you have a problem.

Flight schools must love your monthly dumpster dive amendments... and watch the language, can just picture your bloated red face typing that...

As Styx and Bodie can't seem to understand the rules about personal attacks not being tolerated this thread has to stop here. Perhaps someone would like to start a new, up to date thread on the subject.
