I was referring to the QF from 2000 onwards. Ansett had very limited to no recruitment before there demise. My dad worked for AN when they went out of business just as I was looking for work

For all of the American's reading this thread, if QF start recruiting & you meet the minimums, go for it. The biggest hassles you'll have are getting residency & getting your licences to fly (dealing with CASA is not fun)
