Air NZ is interviewing in Jan & Feb, with, as the gossip goes, more each month for the rest of the year.
I think the positions are for all the fleets (ex the 320 as said prev). But the 737 courses after the first one or two will be mainly filled by S/O's coming back to do some real work for once.
Other goss is that they are looking for 100 pilots in 2004. But I'll leave that to you to make your mind up on.
Nelson, well, are having a bit of trouble finding qualified/experienced drivers. One got recently "let go" after not coming up to scratch in the Sim. They have another ground course in Feb planned. That's three in 5 months!!
And the 17th SAAB arrives soon.
Eagle, who knows.
Mt Cook have a few on the Air NZ yes list, so a bit of goings on there. Plus goss again, has it that a few have put up their hand for PB.
Freedom, well, who knows, could be smarting soon if any of their crew go off to PB. Apparently most of their drivers have applications in there.
As for hiring Ex Ansett drivers, from the comments of the JetConnect guys, all they do is moan and groan about the old days (you know, that caused the problem in the first place).
In summary, get your CV's in, keep updating, get some multi time and don't get caught DiC/DuI this Christmas!
