Cen... from my experience, the type of person they are looking for is not that common. The IF time is certainly a prime requirement, but I believe you will find the ability to manage and to be a good administrator who can work all the internal politics is what they are looking for. It has and always will be a special type of person that works for the RFDS (any section) and a very special type of person that becomes a Flight ops mgr and chief pilot. There are just not that many about. The last time the SE section recruited a FOM I understand there was only a very short list. It aint easy finding such a person. By looking at the IF time, you have missed the point.
