People are only being looked at with min 2500hrs for Air NZ mainline.
Freedom has now met its hiring requirement for the 737 before going all A320, despite actually being short of pilots.
And also have a fair few in a hold pool I understand.
Due to A320 paying more than 737 fo, Air NZ 737 fo will more than likely bid for Freedom A320 positions, hence future hiring for Freedom is more than likely to be at a slow trickle for some time as all the Freedom 737 pilots are also retrained for the A320!
