Aviation, fashion and more on agenda at PDA breakfast
Pittsworth District Alliance has secured a diverse line-up of speakers for its business breakfast meeting on Tuesday.
Business development officer John MacGregor and CEO Pierre Steyn will offer an insight into their work at FTA Queensland and the Qantas Pilot Academy. Based at Wellcamp Airport the flight academy has seen around 500 pilots graduate since opening in 2018 and currently has around 170 enrolled. The Academy offers airline cadet and self-funded aviation training programs with a training ehtos focussed on producing future airline and helicopter captains rather than simply training cadets to obtain a licence. “A lot of people don’t realise we have 8 simulators, 32 aircraft, full hangar facilities and 7 aircraft engineers... there’s really nothing else like ti in all of South East Asia,” Mr MacGregor said. He said they were also keen to talk about what the Academy brings to the Darling Downs community.
