At the end of the day, it all comes down to your ability to drink piss. Granted, in the past the link boys have been able to knock back a few more bevvies than their other regional counterparts, so have naturally seen more success in Air NZ.
But these days with new fleets etc. Orgin captains and chats pilots alike seem to have been getting through pretty regularly.
So if you've got the right attributes, regardless of your background you'll have a chance.
Actually I even heard they took a few guys that don't drink piss!
