While supply exceeds demand there is always going to be a situation where the 3rd level operators can do as they please. And since most of the rest of the real world throws people into the RHS with a basic CPL/IR bottom level is that all Eagle needs are a bunch of people with 2-300 hrs and some multi time and they sort through and take who they want. NZ can't forever be the place where you need a thousand hours to go RHS in a wee turboprop, that is ridiculous.
There can never be a shortage because it only takes 18 months from day one to get your Multi/IR out of the way and meet the min requirements.
