Lets not kid anyone here, if there are level 2 entry pilots available, QLink will not waste money on level 1. To be honest I can't see why they would.
They must have a reason for it, otherwise they wouldn't have bothered creating that specification in the first place.
May have something to do with the fact that they consider they will get more years of service out of someone who lacks the experience to go ahywhere else.
Has anyone who applied for Level 1 actually had a response of any kind yet?
