Thanks for the reply 43; I am getting my ASIC with my flight school. Once I get it, I'll see what work experience is available.
Do you have any idea how competitive each intake is? I've heard of the shortage of qualified pilots in Australia and how QA is apparently 'plundering the Rex pilot pool'. Is there a deficit of pilots that Rex is trying to compensate with the Rex Cadetship? In my opinion, Rex doesn't clearly state who they are looking for. Universities have guaranteed entry ATARs which makes things simple; I know Rex AAPA is no University; however, I feel like I'm being led astray as I have no idea what I should accomplish to become a competitive applicant.
One last thing, are there any extracurriculars that you would recommend to me? I did RAAF Cadets for a year, but I am too old to return to it now. I have a small company where I employ a few mates (demonstrates leadership???) But apart from that, I don't know what else I should do.
I'll consider what you said with the interview questions when I get further into the application process.
- Thanks again
