A friend of mine who completed an aviation degree informed me that you can infact put the flying fees on HECS however there is a maximum that you can be leant in terms of HECS and generally university flying schools flying prices are quite high so posssibly the HECS may not cover all the flying and associated university fees! CPL perhaps?
Also i heard that the most recent batch of Qantas cadets where not offered any line positions or Qantaslink for that matter, just wondering if there is any truth to this?
