[QUOTE=Tee Emm;9834260]The best training as a pilot you will ever get and yet you are frightened of a commitment to help defend your country[/QUOTE

Classic

Yeah, would love to go and work for Turnbull and his boss, Trump. Not!!

Sound advice given. Don't fear GA if a Cadetship is not on offer. It's a great place to develop all the skills mentioned above and it's a lot of fun. Flying a jet is not as demanding as the flying you will do in GA....I assure you of that.

Yeah, it would suck flying a KC-30/C130J/F18/C17/C-27J/Wedgetail/Seahawk/NH90/etc...
Training in a PC9/PC21 whilst getting paid...
Doing some disaster relief/providing humanitarian aid/search and rescue/survivor assistance...
All sounds pretty boring to me...
Give me a clapped out, 32 year old Chieftain on less than minimum wage! That's where it's at!

Look, just trying to provide some balance - for sure, the ADF is not for everyone and everyone is entitled to their own opinions, but I doubt there are many in the ADF who would feel or agree that they "work for Turnbull". Except maybe the VIP Squadron - I mean, I guess they "work for" him...

And, there's nothing wrong with the Chieftain job if that's what you want to do - each to their own - all part of life's rich tapestry...

Further, I acknowledge the OP has already expressed a desire to pursue an airline path and is not interested in pursuing an ADF option,which is all good!

It has been (gratefully) pointed out to me via PM that a 32 year old Chieftain would be one of the newer ones getting around...
I live and learn!
