However, the QF guys are, so far, exclusively FOs and not capts and this is going to be the general thrust of recruiting for the foreseeable future for all candidates, not just Qantas. I confirmed this in the office very recently, so it's not just rumour. I was told that if a 'very good' capt candidate applied they would consider him as a DEC and by 'very good' they mean JCAB licence and 767 type rating but they are specifically targeting FOs because we have enough capts.
I shall re-post this since it is obviously FAR too difficult for some people to go back 2 pages and see what has been written about NTR captains
