It's not that new.
Called "Beer drinking guide for Australia"
Also look for "How to get girls with bad pick-up lines and haircuts"
Good luck.
PS. Supply and demand applies to the ADF as well, and they are low on pilots. Good time to get a look in.

Wings books
Larry,
I have just bought a copy of the book that I think you are enquiring about. I ordered it through Concept aviation in Bankstown. Try here http://vs6015.server-store.com/store...etstore?id=861 for some info on it.
It is written in the same sort of style like those how to get into Cathay Pacific Airlines type of books. It seems to go into a lot more detail and the authors have included a link to an avfacts website with a couple of more chapters, praccy questions and the like. Hope this helps,
Cheers

Chief... not sure on your source for that, but the understanding I had was that we had 100 pilots over establishment - most of them boggies.
Of course, recruiting goes on! So dont let that slow you down Larry.

I've heard that due to the time taken to train a RAAF pilot, its hard to guage the requirements - ie there might be an oversupply now so they scale back recruitment. In 18 months time they're short of pilots but with fewer currently in the system, hence the ongoing recruitment.
I'm sure someone will correct me about this if I'm wrong

The RAAF gave up trying to adjust pilot output to match the vagaries of airlines' recruiting some years ago. They now go for a "constant output" model which means that right now the RAAF is significantly over-manned, but who knows what may happen around the corner?
At the moment Army is flush, but the Navy are after pilots.
