I hope in your business venture, you are a bit more careful about reading than on here.
CT7 mentioned that Air NZ is replacing its Blue Water Fleet with 777s and re-equipped 747s. This covers the point you keep hammering home about the 767s, which the older ones start to go soon.
The 737s will also not be here for ever.
The bit about wanting to skip a few rungs on the NZ aviation ladder, must be the same feeling we get if we want a UK licence. Start at the bottom.
Why not Pac Blue?? Or not as much as European pay??
