"Condorflyer"
Just throwing around a few ideas here...
Why can't the University provide a final exam similar to the ATPL All students that pass then get submitted to CASA to sit the real one. At least it would ensure many, if not most students were given a legitimate, coordinated opportunity to sit for, and graduate with an ATPL, without the Unversity facing a high CASA failure rate.
While I appreciate the consequences CASR 61 may have, what is UNSW and UWS doing about it? Is there anyone out there that can comment on what allowances they are making for the new Regs?
What kind of lobbying took place with CASA regarding the implication of the regs? There was nothing really wrong with the system Universities had been employing, so surely some allowance could have been made for them rather than the certain death of the 7 or so aviation degree programmes in the country.
The final recommendations from the Review Board did not make any mention to HECS funding allocations, or upcoming CASA changes... rather it underlined systemic organisational issues that have failed to be addressed over the last 5 years.
