Well done mate.
However,
I quote, " I meet all the Qantas requirements, (having just completed all my ATPL exams)... bar one."
A bit like going to the dunny and not wiping ya ar.e. You haven't finished the job.
It seems to me that you STILL do not meet ALL the requirements. It is as simple as that. The fact you don't have the ATPL exams passed means that you will not be able to apply.
