Nerve!!!
qfpaypacket person....you have alot of nerve having a go at VBs Nepotism habits, i mean come on do i have to point out QFs history in this regard, pull ya head in. Oh yeh, you telling me that QF doesnt have guys converting on 737s or 767s as left seat with no prior time on type??!!!! Its just a bloody aeroplane, the sky still appears blue and the ground, brown/green.
People face the facts, you want to work in a country you must play by their rules, get an ATPL. Hopefully one day they will become more realistic but for the now, heads down!!!!
Why countries just dont count a ground school and jet type endorsement as enough for a local ATPL i dont know, oh yes..$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$
