Spoken like a true Air NZ jet fleet pilot.
From what I heard a while back most of the crewing expansion at Mt Cook was provided by the guys who lost their jobs at Eagle.
Yep, those Air NZ Jets are so much more difficult to fly than say those of Jetstar and Virgin, operators that don't require pilots to have previous jet experience.
The A320 fleet has increased but you seem to be forgetting the 737 fleet has disappeared during that time.
