The FSA article on having a degree via a Uni Flight Training program can only be viewed as one thing, a FREE ADVERTISMENT.
As for the opening preamble about an outback Dentist ........... what does that have to do with flight training?
The whole article (Free Advert) is totally geared to producing an airline driver.
There are other flying positions and requirements here in Australia in case Mr Murray had not noticed.
My experience with some so called Uni trained pilots is that they simply do not have a lot of experience and that shows in the air and on the ground.
As for the topic of degrees amd what they are taught at the Uni Flight School a lot of that is actually covered in the normal CASA flight training requirements.
The article leaves a lot to be desired. One sided, inaccurate and not real coverage of who foots the total bill for a Uni trained pilot.
Are we to only have pilots who are flying on Daddy's cheque book and no real concept of what a self-funded trainee is all about.
Give me the latter as a pilot anyday.
