Dear Neville Nobody
Where does it say AirNZ doesnt employ aussies? Put your name in and you'll get an interview just like everybody else.
Australians have the right to live and work in NZ just the same as Kiwis can come to Oz and do all the work in the mines
As for foreigners coming and undermining conditions here, get real. What %age of Virgin/Jetstar/Tiger pilots are from overseas? And dont count the Aussies coming home from overseas either.
At least Freedom Air paid its pilots on a par with mainline Air NZ.
