Your pay rates are much better than in NZ. I even heard of one school once where the instructors paid a fee to teach there. That's been stamped out now. It seems instructors worldwide are abused. The airlines use them to produce pilots so they can select who they want, but have a habit of diluting experience levels in GA when they pluck the senior ones out. The rest of us are paid small wages because there's always someone to take your place for less. Some profession, eh? Nevertheless, go for it, be strong with them and see it as a professional job, not merely a stepping stone.
