QF/DJ/XR - comparisons

Hello ladies and germs,

I hope to have my CPL by next month and I know I'll have absolute minimal hours but as an idea of what I'll be aiming for I'm looking around the usual three domestic carriers who operate in WA to see what their minimum requirements are.

Anyone got comments, feedback, horror stories, love stories or anything about about QF/DJ/XR ?

Cheers

I think that XR is the only one with a pilot base in WA.

Correct Coaldemon.
I would think even in todays job climate, 2000hrs and 500 multi would be the minimum for any of the abovementioned ( not counting friends in high places factor ) or maybe 1500hrs plus 1000multi.
