Thanks for all the advice guys. I've applied for Virgin too and they asked me to go do an MCC, so just waiting to hear back from them, thats the current pie in the sky option.
I've applied for the others, but not enough twin time yet unfortuntately. RPT line flying in a caravan apparently isn't as complex as buggering around in a clapped out partenavia.
Rex defintely looks to be the next best option. I've heard as much about Qlink as you guys have let on. Last week I applied on monday and they had an already had an interveiw date for me come thursday, I think that may be a sign on how many is jumping ship currently.
