Looks like you got no idea.

Why not just give you story to Qantas and ask for 737 NG command based in Melbourne. You seem to think it can be done so easily.

Like
- I got 712.4 hours (don't forget the 0.4)
- I want to fly a twin turbine
- I don't want to leave Melbourne
- i don't want to leave my girlfriend

Just look at what most other have done :
- many gone bush / left home
- many done several thousands hours out bush in a single before flying a twin
- many of us have had to leave behind girlfriends more than once
- many don't get to fly a turbine until after several thousand hours experience (712.4 is peanuts if you ask me, and you will be lucky to get a piston twin with those hours, let alone a turbine)

Get Real I say.

And be prepared to make some very tough decisions/sacrifices on the way.

I also "initially" did not want to ever leave home, but I don't think I would have ever got my first job with that attitude, let alone twin turbine command.


404 Titan was 100% right in saying
If you aren’t prepared to make these sought of sacrifices in this industry chances are you won't make it. That’s the reality unfortunately
I just don't think you understand this yet.
