Hey darylw,
As flying ginge has mentioned, there are still a considerable number of people from the last ground course (most of whom have in excess of 2,000hrs TT and 750 multi) waiting on the call up - should happen pretty soon if the rumours about AirNZ are correct.
Further to the rumour spreading, word has it that due to everyone moving on so quickly, The Powers that Be at Origin have decided to take on lower hour (500ish) and/or older pilots so that the stick around for a long time/the rest of their flying life.
Seems the only way they can hang on to the boys and girls is if the get people that no-one else is going to want.
Anyway,
Good luck.
