As for time to command, it's not really known until Qantas amend the TACM etc. to account for NZ pilots, as the current QF command minimums don't allow for upgrades ~3 years after joining for obvious reasons.
thanks. I thought they might be referring to J*. Makes more sense now.
$40k is survival money but I guess it's only for a short time. I'll look up the actual pay scales. (I'm not justifying crappy salaries)
Am I reading that correctly - QF dictates the upgrade criteria and it doesn't matter if you have 500 hours or 15,000 hours, they just want 3 years on company aircraft before upgrading to captain?
