Too right Kev, money is the motivation for now, 5-6 yrs where I am means I can move home and fly a kite if I like, the idea of being a minibus FO at the Koru fills me personally with dread...and only a big pay rise would ease the pain.
The trouble is, lots of us who headed O/S in the late 90’s..early 2000’s always thought Air NZ..QF etc etc were the be all and end all, now for many its a case of same issues, different colour scheme...but with more money to invest or kill mortgages when we return.
BTW, from what I’m told at Koru, 5-6 years is reality for a very few and not the many.
