I have to agree with 14RU, RFN. In the good old days, Foxy (ex DFO) would have stood up to the Board of Directors and told them that Flight Ops can't run the planned or existing schedule with this many crews but the gutless "leaders" we have in Flight Ops today haven't got the balls to say no so the **** just gets passed on down the line.
More and more Captains, F/Os and Cabin Crew are learning how to say No....and the airline are really feeling the effect of this withdrawal of good will, discretion and willingness to work on days off.
As a joining Rishworth F/O expect about 6000 NZ$ a month if you are lucky. After a year you will go on to the "full RBA contract" (Whoopy fuXking doo!) which at the current exchange rate represents about a 10% pay cut as you will then be paid in Brunei$.
Stay away unless you are really desperate.
