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.
Thanks for your response VH-FTS
Was mainly seeking what was the general recruitment for fleets in SYD. As much as it would be nice to fly the Q400, by no means it is a deal breaker. Classic fleet would be perfectly fine! More just looking for an opportunity.
