"Ton of guys" - that is a severe understatement. Bear in mind that just about every airline in the world has furloughed pilots. Kiwis are in most of them, more in some than others. Expats were first to go in China, then the rest of SE Asia as Covid ramped up. Now the ME and Europe are feeling the effects. There will literally be thousands in the queue ahead of you for a handful (if any) of jobs when hiring restarts. First in the queue will be the furloughed pilots taken back under binding negotiated agreements. Then it will be the turn of experienced pilots many of which would have started their flying careers in NZ and will have proven track records at their old employers. They will have command experience, heavy jet, medium jet, TP. Pretty much everything an employer could want that unfortunately you don't have. And then you are up against pilots from countries that have work rights in NZ eg: Oz.
