Pedota
To paraphrase from your post . . .
You mentioned Tiger, J* and Virgin Blue . . . can I kindly add QF especially as you postulate "you'll join as an F/O and at what point will you get your command"?
In the kindest possible way possible, would it be remiss of me to question your request to add "QF"?
As it is not possible to join "QF" as an "FO", as the original question that was posed stipulated and if you don't mind me paraphrasing
Assume you'll join as an F/O..
.. should that then not preclude the mention of "QF" as a potential offering? (as it is not possible to join QF as an F/O..)
and may I respectfully say I agree with Mr.Buzzy and if you don't mind me metaphrasing
"hands on"
I also agree with the potential of enjoying this thread
Cheers
