G'day Barra !
If you're hell bent on working in aviation your could go the military option?
I don't know what the prospects of adult entry is into the RAAF or Army these days?
That will settle you down, basic training will sort you out for sure !
The training is good, although I don't think CASA recognises the military syllabus now, but you can sit the CASA basics yourself.
Experience on rotary wing wouldn't be a bad option, i think you would find a good job on helicopters after your 6 years service? ? ?
Any way there is no harm in giving it a go ! the worst that can happen is you won't get accepted there either. But nothing ventured, nothing gained.
Good luck whichever path you take !

@ PV, Don't think excell awards are anything special. I personally have seen a nomination TOTALLY fabricated and the guy win it. Sadly, unless you are prepared to get on your knees you may be waiting a while for your course!

yeah I'm pretty much set on aviation as its really a passion for me like nothing else. I have the navy in my sight I have been to a job interview but they said they wont take me yet and gave me 3 months to talk it through with me mrs as she's not keen on the whole life style change that come with it.
pv I don't know much about the culture @ Qantas but I work for a major bank and we have the same politics especially when it comes to promotions. personally I think its BS!

tips and tricks
Religiously get pissed at the "Rowers" when the boss is there......
Take the Leading hand to the strippers with the boys, shout him a night with a pro.......
Get friendly with the maintenance managers daughter.....
Then knock her up......
You'll be on an A380 course sooner than you know it!!!
I'd wager you'd be sent to Toulouse for an all expenses paid....2 year holiday as well.
Best of luck.

Excel awards are a joke(i wouldn't accept one if i got it). Take a look at most of the people that have got them (suckhole knobs) and the things they have been nominated for. Total joke.
