Agree with G-Burg- absolutely no relevance! Don’t forget the RAAF pay you to learn how to fly (compared to GA) for the first few years. The salary of a 737/330 Capt in the RAAF is well below what you would get in an airline as a Capt. But the point is if that RAAF Capt joins an Australian legacy airline system they have to start at the bottom as an SO/FO etc on less money anyway. No comparison at all- don’t undermine the work the JQ guys and girls do- good luck to them.
