Qantas requirement for a HSC has nothing to do with flying the plane. They use it to discriminate against older applicants and to reduce the amount of young people applying. I recently looked into completing a HSC. As you say it can be done but apparently it takes 1 year to complete as a mature age student. Your profile says you are 18 years old. Easy to do at your age but ask any pilot who is in their late 20s or 30s having to support themselves and maybe a family. It is a challenge unless you are loaded with money to take time off which I doubt on GA wages.
I think Qantas should exempt pilots who are over 25 years of age from the HSC requirement if they can prove they have significant flying experience or a university degree.
I still can't understand how Qantas can view a university degree as less than a HSC? Can anyone explain this one?
