OK, before this thread gets closed.
Air NZ does not have a restricted employment policy; we've got Kiwis, Ozzies, Poms & Chinese etc - we even employed Gary Toomey if you haven't noticed!
May be the reason there's more Kiwis working for Oz airlines than the other way round is because we(Kiwis) are actually better pilots than you lot!
If you haven't noticed, QF (domestic) did a slow roll & pull through a couple of months ago; it was Kiwi owned and a lot of their pilots have been subsequently hired by Air NZ - we can't be THAT fussy! As for looking for our own markets (unquote in another closed thread), can't the same be said about QF?
Boeing Belly, I'd have thought that with the passage of time you'd have cooled down by now - such is obviously not the case. I bet you didn't spend as long deciding to sc@b in '89
