I don't know how the salary has ever measured up with respect to Auckland/Wellington mortgages. However I do know basing Link crew in these cities has never been a recipe for keeping pilots at the Links. Why would you want to live in either place on a turbo prop salary when you could earn a jet salary? The move a few years ago to shift away from regional bases was a very dumb idea.
