RNZAF?

Hi there,

I'm a student nearing the end of my degree and am considering joining the RNZAF to become a pilot. I'm a bit concerned about it's reputation. It gets quite a lot of flak and I want to know if this is just hot air, or would I be joining a sinking ship?

I read that you can start off flying and then be transferred to other jobs. What's this about? Can they just shaft you with another job? Do you still have to give your ten years service if you're not flying? And does this ten years service start from day one or when?

Also I've been trying to find out about pay. I know you don't join up for the money, but it would be nice to know what I could expect.

Any help is appreciated.
