FTA has VSL approval but reached a temporary cap on funding in 2017. Going forward they may reduce non-cadet VET student intake to accommodate more cadets including Virgin.

Virgin have announced they're reopening their cadetship again in October following a successful completion of their advanced cadets. Will be interesting to see if they change their structure with the announcement of Qantas' academy

Virgin Australia will reopen applications for their cadetship this Friday (04 May). According to the updated FAQ page (see website):

What are the age requirements for this program ive just turned 33.
The Helicopter career path has been destroyed in Australia by CASA and part 61 and I was looking at moving to a more stable career. Will 2900 Helicopters hours and flying overseas be a benefit for this cadetship? I already have passes in irex and other exams. . I'm currently flying in Bali and so once I week i have a beer or two with the 737 guys flying in from Virgin, they seem to think that I should apply and its very much a people person job and how you get along with the other crew. But im not sure if this program is aimed at students with 0 time, I have 0 time in fixed wing aircraft. cheers |
Yes it's for ab-initio up to a PPL, they should also add that only current Virgin staff or relatives need apply, to save applicants and their own time.

and GA pays nothing and is not stable anymore. |
Depending on your personal situation, the US might be an avenue. The RW transition programs are aimed at Mil RW pilots but this is primarily to get the <1500hr exemption. It might be be worth investigating with Dr Google. Failing that there are a few lurking around PPRUNE that may be able to offer some advice. |

The photo in the following link should give you a pretty good idea what they are looking for.... https://www.afap.org.au/pilot-jobs/p...adet%20Program |
Although I believe airlines like Virgin are favoriting females for their cadetship programs (Its good marketing on their part).
I do wish to point out that their 2018 Advance Pilot Cadets graduation photo shows 5 males and 1 female. |

When they have say 2000 applicants for the ab initio program with perhaps 1900 males and 100 females, its still easy to meet their quota of 5 of each. As far as it being "good marketing", I honestly can't believe the population is brainwashed by the feminist media to not be outraged by gimmicks like this. Imagine if the shoe was on the other foot... |

Yes its crap and unfair but it seems the way allot of company's are going towards |
I’m quite interested in the Virgin Galactic Space Cadet program |
UPRT – $1,760 |
Has anyone applied for 2019 intake?
And heard back anything?
I should probably cut off my penis and put in a vagina, looking at this 50:50 quota. |
The whole Virgin cadet scheme is PR. They dont need to do it so why should they? If it was an honest scheme they would take more than 6 people a year.
The REX cadet scheme is 10 years old now and I have never seen a mainstream media article about it. As for the Qantas scheme that is just more smoke and mirrors. |
