Flat Side Up,

As long as this thread continues in the vein that you and a few others are taking it then the more intelligent of us will be deserting PPrune at your loss.

Comments such as...

"Let us apply the same discriminatory employment policies as AirNZ does against Australian pilots. Don't employ NZ pilots in Australia."

....are inflamatory and grossly incorrect.

Australian pilots are, and have been, employed by ANZ and other regional airlines within NZ, particularly post 89. Your comment regarding not employing NZ pilots will be doing a great disservice to other Australian pilots looking for work in the rest of the world, as I'm sure a few of them are. Any recruiter reading your posts would have to wonder about the sentiments of Australian pilots towards Kiwi's, and whether the Australian applicant has any deep seated resentment towards their neighbours. There are still a number of airlines looking for expatriate crews that are capable of working alongside one another. It appears, from your comments, that some Australian pilots may be incapable of such an arrangement.
