Draw a horizontal line through Christchurch, and unless you have flown 50hrs down there, forget about a job below that line.
Not quite.. Probably more like Oamaru / Omarama is more like it. The operators around Mt Cook don't have those requirements, and frown upon the 50 hours Wakatipu Aeroclub course as a waste of money.
But jobs around Mt Cook are pretty few and far between with most guys serving their entire flying career down here.. There are a handful that will move on in time.
