The QF mainline assessment is designed to identify potentially successful CADETS....to apply the same testing to highly experienced applicants in their 30s is extremely counterproductive...in fact it's plain stupid.
This statement is plain stupid. The tests are there for a reason and identify attributes the group wants. These sorts of tests are used by thousands of companies and are highly accurate. If you don't get passed this stage it doesn't mean your age and experience isn't good or you are not a good pilot blah blah blah it means you don't fit into the attributes box they are looking for.
As a mate once told me
"If you don't get into Qantas don't take it personally and if you do get into Qantas, Don't take it personally"
