Thanks for the responses.
Not that it should matter, but just to chuck a spanner into the works (so to speak).
I am married and have two children (5 and 2). I am a female and I have only being flying part time for the last 5 1/2 years (my annual leave is from my other job).
As already mentioned, I have plenty of money saved up to do whatever it takes to get back into flying full-time, whether that means buying a type rating or whatever it is going to take, I'd even consider doing instructing again if I have to.
So, as well as ATPL suggestions, is there anywhere I can go to look for a job in the Auckland/Hamilton area as I don't want to have to leave my children and husband for extended periods of time.
Thanks again
