Hey, I don't come up with the stupid rules our Tory government has, but plenty of advice can be obtained from the civilair website and by contacting the union directly.
BTW, Christchurch is a beautiful place. Wouldn't knock it. And I'm an aussie.
Zue, HR in AsA work in HR time. They will get to you, but don't hold your breath. Apparently we're always recruiting, but the interviews and courses and such are at the discretion of HR.
At the moment we're running courses in our college in Melbourne almost continuously for the next 18 months to 3 years. So Zue, get onto HR by e-mail with a direct question as to what's happening. Civilair website has a thread in its forums on this topic.
Best of luck.
Jerricho, hows the weather. In Brissie we've had a couple of cold 5 degree mornings. Mind you, it gets back up to 20 by lunch time. blue sky weather and the VFRs are everywhere.
