Timing is everything in aviation, and unfortunately you have hit the wave at a bad time. There are a lot of highly experienced pilots on the street looking for work right now.

When you start talking about the likes of QF, ANZ, and CX remember that these are major flag carriers so there is very serious competition for these jobs.

For Qantas take a good hard look at the Qantas Minimum Criteria for Direct Entry Pilots and see if you honestly meet the Residency and Qualification requirements. If you are not Australian, below is a previous post that details getting into Australian aviation.

In the meantime relax, enjoy the flying, improve your jobs where you can, and wait for the ride to smooth out. You've got till age 65 and you don't want to burn bridges before you even start...esp with the guys that will help you out!
