GG,
What the
are you talking about? Do you even live in NZ?
Air Nelson are just starting more guys off a recently finished ground course, plus a bunch of guys doing their line training, and Eagle are interviewing for 11 f/o's very soon.
No one will work for free and shouldn't, but GA pays what it pays. Thats life in NZ. No one has to sell their mother or soul. I sure as hell didn't, and wouldn't have worked for free either. I'm reeping the sweet sweet crop I sowed and it ain't too bad from my seat up above the GA crowd.
