Whats going to happen to guys not yet in Air NZ or Link but are working their way up towards it? If NZ train their own and hire their 'own', will the guys that have paid their way and are still working their way through the NZ industry be left out or hung out to dry bacuase suddenly they wont get the opportunities that may have came up?
I'm talking about pilots btw. If thats the case, alot of us inexperienced CPLs wont get a shot or a chance when it comes our time to be in contention in a couple of years....
Link as above:
The academy was expected to open later next year and would take students from high school or tertiary education and train them to fly from scratch. The airline would continue to recruit qualified pilots
