A quote from Flexible Response on the thread with the same title in the D and G forum:
"When I joined CX twenty-something years ago, I had an interview with the Director of Flight Operations. He told me that he just received a call from the Chief of Air Staff of the RAAF. The CAS had complained to the DFO about poaching of "his" pilots. I asked the DFO what reply he gave.
The DFO said, "I said to him that if you paid them what they are worth, then they wouldn't leave!" He then hung up.
...nothing has changed..."
Actually, something has changed. The CX group has to my knowledge lost two pilots who are returning back to the RAF and one to the RAAF!
