Yes the old HSC requirement is just a waste of time and you will see why when they drop it to attract more people to come and join them in their line of assulting bill****. I know someone who was there for 10yrs, and he was LHI & HOT approved and still didn't kill anyone and he didn't have the HSC either. But Qantas on the other hand told him that he NEEDED the HSC so he would have the intellingence to pass the PYSHCO testing and he passed that as well. But in true Qantas style he and many others had enough of all of the QF GOD selection and now most of these guys are flying things like B747-400's,
A330's, A340-600/300, A320/1.(Only about 90 - 120 from Eastern) It's only taken QF 10 years to relise that there is something wrong so when they pull their heads out of their arses they might have a very slim chance to hangon to the reigns before someone gets seriously hurt.
Please guys if your going to cough up some money for endorsement have a good look at the A320 and B737 first because there plenty of jobs out there with the upgrade option after 2-3 years.
