Why is only QANTAS mentioned?
What about Virgin, Jetstar, or Cathay pilots?
I'm with Flexible Response on this one - pay RAAF pilots a bit more - retention SOLVED. Bunch of bloody tight-arse, tree huggin' pollies still haven't got that through their FICK EDS.
If QANTAS pilots actually want to spend their valuable lifestyle time off in the military instead of with their families then they should do staff work and secondary duties. That way the boggies and junior captains can go out and do the flying they're paid for, and get the experience that is apparently so difficult to achieve.
