No bad experience, just that I personally wouldn't want to live in a country that has rebels going around destroying things and killing people. And if you are a foreigner, you will stick out as a target. I don't think they will be paying you enough to go through that kind of danger. But if thats what you want than thats cool, just hope you know what it is you are getting yourself into. And I am not sure but to be part of any cadet programme of almost any airline you have to be a resident. Since you won't be able to get citizenship, you may have to already have your licenses to apply. They will probably give you an apartment in a compound, and with those kinds of companies, I doubt there is a union so they can tell you anytime you're fired and you're out the door. If you can't find employment in your country then move elsewhere only as a last resort because you will not enjoy the freedom you do in New Zealand. Good luck!
