worthwhile
Having spent the last 15 yrs flying for the CF, I still think it is a great place to work. Many of my friends that left years ago for airline jobs or a stint in Saudi have been coming back recently. Budget cutbacks from early nineties have left us with some old airplanes to fly. However, things are looking up and the technicians do a great job.
Joining the CF from Oz may prove difficult. An RAF buddy of mine was recently declined despite his fast jet background and QFI experience. But I don't have all the facts. The Air Force website has some info. Flying Sea Kings or Cormorants on the West Coast of Canada sounds like a dream job to me.
