Probably not a fair comparison if I’m being honest.
Back in my day there were 3 Link operators who were rather independent of one another and only partially owned by big brother.
There was no blended contract or joint seniority so moving between them meant resigning from one and joining the bottom of another, usually people only moved to join Cook if they were a local as they paid the best and only had a Christchurch base.
Pay varied from lousy to decent depending on which company you worked for, as did the rosters.
6 Sector days were common at Eagle while Cook was rather cruisy having a single base with longer sectors.
Much has improved over the years, especially with Eagle being retired.
