Helicopter pilot is one of the skills shortage of Jobs listed on
the New Zealand immigration site.

Are they only accepting pilots with a certain number of hours?
to be allowed to immigrate here.As yes that is fair.

Or can New CPL-H pilots from overseas, or a foreign person trained for CPL-H here in NZ with low hours (ie just completed CPL-H) use that to immigrate to New Zealand.?

As I'm one of the esitmated 70+ new CPL-Hs looking for work in this country. Be crazy to let overseas new CPL-H pilots in under this law.There is not a pilot shortage from what i see.I know 1 in my class is working for free to land that first job.

Telling me to train to become an instructor is making this a pyramid system. As its the only it seems to get anywhere.
