Given that QL seems to have a shortage of FOs at the moment adn the foreseeable future, they still seem to be very selective with their recruitment.

Can anyone tell me (roughly) what the success rate is for applicants?
I had heard that about 1 in 10 who met with min criteria got through the selection process.

How competitive is it to get a gig with the Link?
Are older pilots (say 45 years) with less experience (perhaps 1200 hours) attractive to QLink as they are less likely to leave and progress to jets?? Do they consider career turbo prop pilots or is everyone in the same pidgeon hole at recruitment?

I guess if I'm still in two minds at this stage I'm not motivated to move away from a job that will pay more than I'll ever earn on turbo props.
