Frankly they don't - my RAAF course mates from BFTS got their wings in Nov 08, those lads and the subsequent courses are all looking at a two year ground posting before they see a coversion. This is a common theme accros all three services.
I think they are still recruiting, however the ADF are VERY flush for pilots.
Then why has "pilot' only recently become a priority job as listed on defencejobs.gov.au? Just seems curious to me...
