Dragun, if your information is correct, I suspect the 20 Yarpies would possibly be very experienced, and targeted for fast-track commands (bypassing seniority). This is considering there are less than a handful of "upgradeable" FO's in the company (NSW/VIC). That would explain everything.
I think 20 is a long shot...
The figure is closer to 5
AFAIK.
Yes, the one's I know are very experienced with 5000+ Hrs TT and upto 3000 Hrs Dash 8 300/Q400 time (Left Seat included...)
