Intake mate, here's a trick I learn't. Wherever you are sending your CVs to, be it NZ or Oz or the UK, it is important that you organise a mailing address in that country. When the lady from the office of Goingbrokeslowly airlines is doing anything with your CV it is soooooooo much easier to stick a local stamp on it along with all the others she is sending out info to than fussing about with overseas mail and, it might make the difference between getting an interview or not.
As Luke has admirably pointed out, Goingbrokeslowly airlines is never going to be stretched for finding suitable applicants.
Luke, can you get records on how many have their ATPL subjects but don't have the flight test under their belts yet? That is the sad part. That there are guys out there with 1500 tt and the subjects that can't find the money for the flight test and thus can't easily work overseas on contract.
Can anyone remember the early 90's when that Falcon 10 (20?)was based in Dunedin and they couldn't find anyone to fly it as f/o because no-one wanted to move that far south :-)
