Air National F/Os are about 3 thousand shy of Eaglets but their Captains base Salary starts at 52k I believe plus about 8k per annum non tax's. They Choose bases out of Auckland Wellington and Christchurch and work one weekend a month. I'd say thats why they sit higher up the list than Eagle. And Vincent, that's easy. They are a bunch of good bu#*ers that get paid more than Eagle, especially their contracters. They also don't get shipped out to no-mans land!
The Airwork boys get paid a whole lot more than Eagle, work about 5 shifts a fortnight, have good base options and a life.
And Chats, look at the mongrel they get to drive.
My pick would be Mt Cook followed closely by AirFreight NZ then maybe Air Nelson (maybe not at the mo)

Tunnel vision Cjam.
