I'm confused
I thought there are just as many Aussie pilots flying big shiney jets around in NZ, as there are Kiwis?
Maybe I'm wrong.
I can remember working for a small airline in Oz a few years back, and a lot of the guys there were doing whatever they could to get a job with VirginBlue back then. Oh no! They were all Aussies!
In general, Pilots do not stick together, and it's usually the ones pointing the bone at every one else that take the lesser paying jobs first.
A lot of the posts here are just rants.
