It has been said elsewhere on this thread that experience doesn't count for anything with QF. This is absolutely true for the assessment day stage. However assuming the aforementioned rejection letters are being received prior to psychometric testing, it looks as though they're looking for resumes indicating previous jet airliner experience this time round, only because there's so many expat candidates from Asia and the Middle East with that sort of experience. There's guys and girls with a lot less time than 7000hrs being called up for testing but I think you'll find they have wide body jet FO or SO experience.
