Another pilot out the door, they must have virtually zero Hawker pilots left. The toxic environment strikes again.
Are you referring to the two who have just retired.
From Hansard

Gavin Turner and John McGee are pilots in the Government Air Wing. Gaven has been in the captain’s seat for 37 years and John for 13½ years. The Government Air Wing’s first job is organ transfer. It is a big state. The pilots can be called upon at any time and in almost any weather to fly these mercy missions. They also fly after monsoons and cyclones. They do a tremendous job. I have always felt safe in the aircraft when Gaven and John are there. I want to wish them all the very best on their retirement and thank them for their service and duty. I know that when they do organ retrievals they love hearing that it has gone well and a life has been saved. There is a reason Queenslanders walk that little bit taller, and that is because of Queenslanders like these.
I wish them both well in their well deserved retirement
