In short
RAAF looking to INCREASE number of students for the next few years.
Many RAAF pilots leaving at the mo for the airlines, and Ronnie making no effort to keep them (check out the thread on this in Downunder).
Many good new aircraft (well new for the RAAF)coming on line C17, KC30B, 737, Superhornets, C27J?not so good now but in 2 years they should all be on line or close to it.
In short
Given your age now, this is your last BEST chance to get in.
Its better than working for a living and there is no such thing as a bad flying job, its up to you to duck and weave the ground jobs!
