I may be wrong but I think the RAAF have a policy of posting new 220 hour pilots directly from Pilots course to C17A Globemasters.
Difference is that the RAAF deal with very small number of elite pilots who are handpicked from day one for the roles that they will be doing. You have the smartest guys they can find getting unlimited budget training. The RAAF will be more than happy to scrub you at any time if you don't make the grade they don't care how much money they have spent.
There is no absolutely no comparison between a 200 hour RAAF pilot and a 200 hour civilian pilot.
Major airlines don't even do half the testing and recruiting that the RAAF do and that's with experience pilots!!
