If you're not opposed to living in Perth and you want a jet job might i suggest applying for Skippers. You will start on a dash and then get the F100 after a year. You stay out of the QF group and can apply to mainline when they open. It is the fastest way to get into Mainline. Lastly, you sound like you're from GA and are used to getting the short end of the stick. From one GA person to the other, do not stunt your career and go to Network.
