I've heard that it's a very good flight training school and good university in the Aviation sector. However, I also hear others saying that a degree is not worth it. Is university a good option or not? From what I read on PPRuNe, it sounds like a bad option and also takes longer. Is this also the case in Australia? That a degree is not worth it and is not liked by airlines?

I've been told that Qantas do not like applicants with degrees because they're looking for those who are good at flying other than the academic ones. Of course, they'd be looking for one with both of those features.

Can any confirm whether you should get a degree or not? and whether Qantas likes the degree? I'm very sure they'd choose someone who can fly rather than an academic. A lot of pilots choose to get a degree after entering the airlines or during GA
