I didn't read that as an argument, more a statement. He said don't start this "RAAF are best and brightest non sense." I agree.
There is no comparison between Jetstar and the RAaF training, RAAF training would win hands down. Now if you are comparing the candidates, that's a different issue.
Only omse people apply, and out of those people, RAAF are looking for a specific type. That doesn't necessarily transfer to the best and brightest.
Jetstar are no doubt looking for a specific type to enter into their new deal, and I have no doubt the best and isn't on their agenda either.
I cringe when I here Military guys blowing their own trumpets.
