Hi Icarus

Thanks for your helpful advice. First of all, is it plausable then that once in the compulsory industry placement (Most likely Qantaslink) that you would stay there and not be relinquished after 2 years?

Secondly would you go in as First officer position? How does this work when by the end of your cadetship training phase you would only have 100 hours PIC and approx 200-250 hours total????? Yet direct entry into Qantaslink is 700 tt and 250 multi. I'm confused!!!!

Finally I think you misinterpreted what I meant by point # 3. What I mean is why spend 2 years in industry when you could feasibly spend a year or even less getting 500 hours in command elsewhere and then apply for direct entry as a SO?
