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'?
Don't start this RAAF are the best and brightest non sense.
707 in the drink off east coast for starters, might be a while ago, but it was a first and hasn't happened in civil aviation since.
As for heavy landings, do you really think the RAAF are going to advertise their internal problems. Not likely. Look at the quality of ATC and the action that receives as an example.
The RAAF chose a specific personality out of THE PEOPLE WHO APPLY.
I put it to you ex RAAF guys blowing your own trumpet, which you do pretty well, that at least 50% of pilots haven't applied for the RAAF. Out of that 50+% I suspect you might find some that are streets ahead in quality.
The fact is they look for a specific type, they train them with an almost unlimited budget and they end up with a good standard of RAAF pilot. When they come back to civil aviation, as they inevitably do, they are not the stand outs their minds tell them they are.
