Christ what a depressing thread this has been to read. As a current PB pilot I agree the company has got some major issues to deal with but so do most other airlines.
The reality is we get to fly a nice machine and live in NZ. As for the pay well I'd like a little more sure but hell its not that bad..my f/o pay nets out at around 6K in the bank monthly. I guess it depends on where you've come from...for us ex regional prop guys it pretty damn good even with the cost of the rating.
with the exception of the odd domestic day the rest of the flyings pretty cruisy 3-4 hours is pretty sweet for a sector (have a yarn, read the paper etc)
The tech and cabin crew are great and would reccommend it as a place to work

Peace out
