Metro Boy
Your experience at
VB would be valued no differently to an instuctor from Bankstown. You know the deal with the testing. I would have thought the QF train set quite apparent.
As for leaving
VB for QF. I would think that foolish. Unless you have failed your command upgrade exhausting promotional opportunities within
VB.
A 737 command next year would be far better than S/O time if you were to be dumped on the world market. And don't doubt the possibility of being dumped onto a world market.
I could think of many scenarios, never recently dreamed, of where even the mighty QF could retrench pilots ( sadly of course ).
We have a foreign policy as visible as Israel's in the Middle East now. Nigtmare terrorist scenarios come to mind.
Get that first jet command Metro. It will open up opportunities in the event of an aviation doomsday in Australia.
