glekichi, most FTA instructors seem to move onto jobs in regionals rather than major carriers, though some have gone to QF. O'connors, Mac-air and Jetcraft (and probably others that I am not aware of) have taken a few over the last couple of years. As I said in my previous post, it's a great company to work for if you like instructing, just don't believe everything the company says about helping you get into the door of a major airline. If that was the case, there wouldn't be experienced grade 1's being told by airlines to come back when they have a little more charter/turbine time.
Also, the only pilots i'm aware of that have gone straight from FTA to Cathay etc were, funnily enough, management pilots at the top of the pecking order who had jet time from a previous life. I have been out of the loop for a while though so who knows in the current climate. Still, in terms of instructing gigs it's probably hard to beat in oz I would think.
