Clearly the res ponders don't have too much of an idea about how things work at regular Unis
But then again why would Aussie pilots know this most are under-educated & never attended a tier 1 (group of 8) or tier 2 uni.
At best most did an aviation degree & aside from UNSW these unis are all ranked well down in world rankings 300 +
Not meaning this as an offense really just a statement of fact, Aust pilots aren't particularly well educated , and they don't need to as they are in a vocation not a profession. Aust Pilots rave on the challenges of ATPLs , get real man they can be done by a year 10 holder in six weeks.
Interesting that the new Head of Griffith Av was bought out from the UK where he was a Senior Lecturer , then promoted to full professor at Griffith. Thus skipping the rank of Associate Prof - again this isn't normal practice. But I think perhaps this wouldn't occur to some of the punters here
