This thread is about air nz jet. My comment above was about nzalpa turboprop council stipulating experience requirements for external applicants to the jet fleet.
The overseas jet drivers will probably use that as a job seeking allowance and go to jetconnect or jetstar, as one has already recently.
Doing 4-5 sectors a day, with massive waits at the airport, for 70k a year isn't sustainable for those used to doing 1 in 1 out.
