Kiwi Air would be a brilliant gig to get involved in. If I was was in your shoes again I would head to Gisbourne and do whatever it takes to get in with Andy. You will drive trucks and work hard long hours, but thats what he expects. If he see's your a hard worker you'll be travelling the world getting paid more than anyone else in GA before you know it.
Other than that you could sacrifice your sole and sign a huge bond to work for Mountain Air..
