Bloody Oath I do!!
Sure beats flying 'the line' from cattle station to cattle station in weathered old birds with more clock hours than a taxi-cab.
I'll take the clean shiny QF bird anyday, who wouldn't?
No really, who wouldn't?
I remember reading somewhere that you are training to be a Qantas pilot? So are you a cadet? or just a wannabe? Something tells me that you will become disillusioned once you go looking for a job and work out what it is really like out there.
I think you will also find that the said aircraft that has clocked more hours than a taxi cab has less than a 1/4 of what a 'new' QF jet has.
An old GA machine usually has less than 20,000 hours. Most QF machines when retiring have over 60,000.
