Oldm8
I have to agree with Oldm8 earlier in the piece regarding the fact that a lot of pilots in the RAAF focus on the negative aspects of the job vice the exciting things we do as pilots. (I am as guilty as the next man!)
Yes, man management could be better (in the RAAF) but I still believe that the retention bonuses paid in 2007/8 worked a treat - not many left - most took the 1 year ROSO and bonus and they are now still in as there aren't many jobs elsewhere.
