Senior Captain in QF? Wow. A head of HR might be a bit more of a help to you. Since they do the recruiting and all. Not the pilots.
One other piece of advice. Don't start throwing crap back at people that tell you it can't or won't be done. Suck it up, and carry on. It makes you look like a baby throwing its toys out of its cot.
These guys have been around the block.
Just a quick question though. What is your actual total time? Do you have any twin experience? IFR experience? How old are you?
Just remember they dont fly them turboprops around VFR very often.....
I do wish you all the best. But you are going to need more than your dad and instructor telling you that you are good. You need to be exceptional.
Your going to need to fly that 172 inverted and backwards with a engine/instrument failure on a ILS approach with cloud down to minimums to stand out above the guys that have a lot more experience than you on aircraft that are way more complex and faster than what you are used to.
I just dont think you realise the step up thats involved in flying some of these twins.
P.S. I would rather fly a King Air over a Boeing/Airbus any day of the week.
