Yeh right - I think someone has been tugging at your other leg
Regarding the line training of the RAAF pilots - considering that as has been stated they are all appropriately licensed - whats the problem. Its a Company decision and probably a good one for many reasons.

As for the events of 12 years ago with the RAAF pilots, the fact that the use of the RAAF at the time was illegal has no relevance, the pilots were under orders and had no choice in the matter. Thats a matter of fact when you are a military pilot. Thats why they don't appear on "the list". There are some but they are the ones that resigned to grab an available position that I am sure they would otherwise have never got.
As the dispute was 12 years ago, it is highly unlikely the there are any of the RAAF pilots concerned still flying in the service. More likely they are in senior positions sitting behind a desk and not an instrument panel. Most in fact are more likely gainfully employed in civil aviation somewhere.
One other point of interest regarding the line training/experience of the RAAF pilots. You must remember there are no pilots in the RAAF that have anywhere near the experience of experienced airline pilots. Therefore any exposure to this level of experience can only be good for the eventual standard that these pilots take back with the to the RAAF.
Have a nice day
