The Federation needs your help to identify any Australian pilots who have applied and hold Command on an Airbus type such as 320/330/340.
I don't understand the relervance of this. Surely it must apply to any Australian Pilots that hold Jet Command time on any type.

Remember that the initial Jet* A320 skippers were previously flying the B717 and they were obviously able to convert ok. I know Pilots who went from 146 Command to B767 Command in Japan without problems. Likewise 146 Command to B717 ala NJS without any drama yet I also know of at least half a dozen (without counting) Pilots with many thousands of hours in Command 146 and 717 who have applied to Jet* but cannot even obtain an interview.

I think that the AFAP need to broaden their arguement to include all of those Australian Pilots who are qualified, even if they do not currently hold an Airbus rating.
