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.

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.
