No it wasn't and have I far more meaningful things to fill my day with than trolling.
Aside from my firm belief that both nurses and doctors level of academic qualification is above that of even an ATPL qualification, the fact that both doctors and nurses have a higher level of work intensity coupled with longer hours in any given RFDS day forms my belief they are both worth more than the pilot, hence why they are paid more.
As I am aware the attrition rate is vastly more attributed to the lack of work life balance than that of pilot remuneration.
Deja Vu;
Midwifery is usually (at least until very recently) an extra qualification required of a flight nurse along with a solid ED background.
