Iron M,
I think you will find Qlink has a high capacity AOC and my understanding therefore is their captains do not need 500ME, just like the guys at mainline don't. (even
VB have now changed to 500 multi with no mention of how many hours are command) As long as they have the requirements to hold an ATPL, and they meet the standard, I can't see why they couldn't be offered a command down the track.
