Livelife09, Air NZ don’t want to hire anyone into the jet fleet for the foreseeable future, even if you are the Airbus chief pilot. They want to promote within from the turboprop fleets. And they DO NOT hire DEC. AirNZ is a legacy airline that has a seniority list which is king, not a low cost operator that hires low hour DEC Captains. You will find the most junior and ‘inexperienced’ Captains at Air NZ have in excess of 8000hrs total time, which makes them quite experienced by world standards.
I would suggest looking at Asia for a DEC job or an f/o job with Jetstar or Virgin. Good luck.
