High Class,
QF Link will bring about a lesser salary than MAM.
MAM is a casual based salary. Do a search for QF link Wages on Wagenet or whatever it is nowadays. I'm pretty sure the base is about $28k.
Mostly day trips possibly 3-4 overnights a month, which isn't much at all. That is a generous amount. Don't expect to make more than $38k a year. You're better off trying for Virgin Blue where you can get a base of $40k and overnights on top. All up VB crew members earn up to $1200 a week. The EBA is changing though and they may soon be working longer and harder for less pay to match competitors. Seeing as crew have rejected one EBA already, if crew reject one more Virgin may apply to the IRC to have an IRC agreement put in place, which will be worse.
My advice, stay where you are until the new VB agreement is decided, if it still beats competitors as it does now, then go for VB.
