I take it from your post that there won't be any chance of getting a SYD Q400 slot?
Sorry, just saw your post.
Some new pilots recently were assigned the Q400 & SYD, but they were the most experienced in their group. All depends on any current Eastern pilots bidding for Q400 positions and new recruits will get what is left over. I believe though SYD is very short on classic FOs, so who knows exactly what will come up.
If not flying the Q400 is a deal breaker though you need to seriously reconsider your application. The money is not that different between types and I would have thought you'd be happy to fly either type if given an opportunity with the company.
