Just thought I would clarify something from the original post.
AN pilots do not get priority of employment with QF. They will get priority when being scheduled to do the pysch/sim/interview etc.
After that they are in the pile with everyone else. It is still possible for the 500hr GA jock to beat a 10'000hr AN jet jockey to a job as a S/O with QF.
Have a nice day. See if this drags us back to the original topic instead of degenerating into another '89 thread!!
