I am flying regional turboprop (ATRs) in Europe and I am deeply interested in flying in NZ, either turboprop or jet, preferably.
How difficult is whole process of converting licences, going through airlines screening, going through immigration process.. in other words, is it worth it? I have the minimum req. except licences, obviously etc.
Is somebody here who has a similar experience - an european flying in NZ/Australia?
Thanks for replies ;-)
Not sure if this helps at all, but Jetstar were really pushing the NZ positions earlier during the recruitment process. Offering "Rapid command upgrades" on turboprops and also trying to fill A320 jet FO spots.
Drop them an email, they're quite ok to deal with and will give you some more info...
