There are no Air Canada pilots based in New Zealand OR Australia.
There are no Canadian pilots 'taking Ansett pilots jobs' or Air New Zealand pilots jobs, or Qantas pilots jobs...
Ansett, for all intents and purposes, is in liquidation. It is facing the grim reaper and I can only pray the good folks at Ansett can stave him off. That they return to their former stature.
As for Canadian pilots based in New Zealand during a 'dispute' is absolutely silly.
One more thing...
if Qantas doesn't get it's house in order, they too shall meet the Grim Reaper.
Ask the good folks at Swissair.
