join QR todays as CADETS , After 6 years, 6 X 900 hours per YEARS = 5400 hours ,that is the requirement to be elligible for command upgrade .
join QR with 6000 hours including 4000 jet time , you still have to wait 6 years according the seniority list to be elligible for your command ,you will get 11400 hours including 9400 hours jet time but the first one will get upgrade before you ;
So join QR if you have little experience ,and for SFO with jet time do not come here ,you will wait ages before be up
graded ,but this is on the second one that the Airline base the safety of the Airline not the cadets .
Where is the logic ,there is no logic for Experienced FO joining QR for his upgrade.!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!better joining a low cost airline and come direct as commander ,much much faster
one more info ,QR will be in COLOMBO next week ,road show for direct entry captain 320 / 330 .
You are right upgrade is not a priority here in QR , Employing experienced FO and delay there command upgrade ,that is the priority for them !
