FlyingOW

You have 3400 h TOT ? Thats ( low experiance F/O ) so you should be happy to get any command with this hours .
In QR requirement is 5000 TOT and GA hours not considered . there is long time in front of you . And in QA all upgrades are made on A320 for naw and since QR has no long term plans and no long term management who knows whats in future .
At the moment on the SIM A320 you can see F/Os which are in airline for 4,5 or 5,5 y means avrige 5 y to command due to senority and low number of trainers . New CT (made in UK ) wants to increase requirements to 6000h tot in future .
777 is new fleet and only 1 airplane with special pilots flying it so its still new toy and NO upgrades made on 777 or any wide body aircraft.
Failure rate in QA upgrade is high :if 10 F/O is on intervew 6-8 will clear int. naw you have 6-8 going on sim and 1 avrige fail after you send this 5 to line training on final check 2 will fail . So out of 10 F/O 3-4 become Capt.
A320 fleet is full of new pilots or ex 2 officers or new upgraded Capt or senior F/Os failed on upgrade .
regarding salary EK.EY pays much better
