Got the call from Qantaslink on Friday,

After going over to Sydney on Tuesday for a sim (747-300) and interview, they have offered me a place in their Trainee First Officer possition in the Dash 8's, so thankfully I am leaving Ardmore with less than 100 hours instructing, and Im finally going to fly in some proper weather.

Be sure to update us from time to time on your new life over there, and post any pictures from your flying experiences

Well congratulations on the employment oppurtunity with QFLink.
Hope you have fun in Aussie flying the Dash 8.
At least the weather will be nicer than it is here

Conratulations mate

I know another instructor from Tauranga doing te exact same thing. I have flown with him once.
You will probably meet him as he is doing the same things around the same time. His name is Andrew Archie.
Keep us updated back here with pictures etc.

Good luck bro, I herd QF Link was in desperate need of Link Pilots. Apparently, or according to those PPRUNE "people" its a cr@p job.

Good Luck none the less
