Foreign Degree (Australian) Recognition

Hey Guys,

I've been having a hard time trying to find the answer; would appreciate anyone who has personal experience or any insight into this.

I have an Australian Bachelors degree (3 years) and moved to the USA a while back. I'm currently at the regional airline level but in my application to the other carriers, I'm wondering if my degree is sufficient for their requirements.

Most applications ask for 4 year degrees and I currently only hold a 3 year degree. I've always assumed due to Australia's education standards that this would at least be equivalent to the USA's standard but I recently just got a NACES report done and was only equivalent to 90 semester hours of credit. I believe the USA is 120.

Has anyone had any issues with employment as such? or had to further their education to meet USA standards? or is an Aussie degree sufficient?

Thanks for your help.
