OZcabincrew, agree with what you are saying. If you want to fly for QF, it really is your only option other than Career Progresion with Jet* or QF Link.
You also can only really go into this knowing that going F/T may take a hell of a long time (if ever), but atleast you can enjoy doing what is a great job in the meantime, that being Flying!
Have a great day...
Cheers,
Steve.
