RV6 - Some great points. Having done a B.Comm at UQ, I can tell you it is a 'soft' degree. I was pissed 3 nights a week and still passed, so it really wasnt that hard. Put Arts and aviation into the soft degree basket as well.
Keg - Go and read my first post (topic starter). For those who want to FLY, a BAv is a waste of time. FLY....as in sit in a plane and fly the fcuker. Not sit in a qantas office in sydney and count beans. There will be plenty of time to do a degree and count beans after your medical goes down the toilet (touch wood). But if you want to be a pilot, dont worry about whether your associate diploma in aviation will get you credit for a Masters of aviation bean counting......... get in a plane and fly.
Im getting all worked up now, Id better stop.
