Hey...TheOrangeStar
Both pilots go through a selection process and are trained on structured courses which are designed to produce a specific product to do a specific job.
Yep, they sure do. Only problem with your hypothesis though 'TOS'ser is that the selection processes between your image of what's needed to become an airline pilot and those required to become a RAAF pilot are entirely different.
Maybe you qualified through the cash-beats-ability selection process?
RAAF guys are selected through the brains-and-ability process, then weeded out if their ability doesn't meet very high standards throughout their training.
You quote deployment of low-hours pilots in the RAAF as follows:
Yes they are flying as co-pilots on A320s, B737 Wegetail, C-17, C-130, P3, EVEN THE PRIME MINISTER'S PLANE!!!!!
Yep, they sure do. And they do it well, too!
How many instances of reported severe hard landings have we heard about from those 'supposed' low hour RAAF pilots vs. the reported (and actual) hard landings and fcuked-up go-arounds from 'the orange stars'?
Chalk and cheese between the two?
I dont think so.
