Fly Real Fast, Before you go around making assumptions about peoples qualifications and experience I suggest you sit back and contemplate the fact that GA is not the only form of aviation in NZ. There are plenty of very experienced Multi-Engine and Helicopter pilots in NZ who have no CAA licence whatsoever Eventually these personnel move on from their previous employer and lo and behold want a civilian licence via the most expeditious means. Funnily enough these people get snapped up by the majors.
