Qlink knocking people back for not having recent IFR time.
Do QLink want IFR flight plan time or are they looking for IMC time? Big difference because CASA don't recognise IFR flight plan time. Either way, pilots trying for QLink need to take the cue from the Australian test team and cheat a little by logging instrument flight time during CAVOK weather on every trip. Desperate times call for sometimes desperate measures when job hunting although personally I don't condone that sort of thing. Autopilot time is legal for IMC time. There is no CASA audit of logged IMC time and practically impossible for anyone to prove you were not IMC if you are fiddling the log book. There are even overseas operators who approve pilots to log 15 minutes of instrument flight time for every hour flown in order to ensure currency.
