Ref my earlier post - (point 6) sorry i kind of assumed as neither army nor navy have jest this was obvious, but that point wasn't aimed at army or navy, hence No insult intended - talking to the RAAF focused audience only. If you want to fly choppers for army or mavy then power to you, I'm sure that would be a rewarding and enjoyable career.
Now I've got my grip back.....
To all those who are looking for a rotary career - please feel free to take what you want from the original post - but if you think I wrote that as some underhanded shot at rotary - I could have used far less words to better effect.
I have a lot of respect for the fine work done by the army and navy, as well as the RAAF - I'm not insecure about saying it :-)
And point 9. Gratification for your job should come from within: no one is going to be there after every flight to tell you how awesome you are because you fly tiger, or a C17, or a Seahawk etc. So if you are easily put off by not being made to feel special - you are perusing the wrong career.
Cj: Next time ask for clarification, I'm happy to give it.
Peace
