Using the age old advice you would leave Qlink to go to Rex 737 , thus moving from 80% to 10% chance of success for a ML application.
That is a dope move that all Q-Link First Officers should consider. Zip over to Rex, get 500hrs 737 domestic, jump into Qantas ( pay any bond you might have to), get offered the 737 during induction due to your recent experience, pull in $250k in your first year. If you know how to study hard for six weeks, haven’t yet tied yourself to a location through kids at school etc, and can be polite and relaxed during an interview…..it’s a great idea.
