Barry you're probably right. I've seen both systems from the inside and still as army rw you still found yourself explaining crew duty and other aviation restrictions to the grunts - so they probably haven't seen a great change in the level of service they have received. Grunts just don't understand aviation no matter who is providing teh service.
Though the raaf proably faring no better - a new boggie in the squadron is waiting for conversion in jun 2012. A two year wait due to delay in airframes. You could argue that the fighters are not getting any tanking since the 707's retired and corporate knowledge is being lost.
The problems i think is bigger than army versus raaf but more in the delays to projects having a flow on effect to the operational world. Don't see any solutions downtrack.
