"There are reservist pilots, but only after having been permenant (sic) air force having completed pilots course. Sorry, but the RAAF does not recognise civilian flying qualifications."
If true, then the typical arrogant air force attitude is shown yet again. There is this mentality that unless you're airforce (or ex) you're not up to it. I see it all the time.
From my own perspective, those "ex" types that I have observed are no better than anyone else.
Cheers.
