work in NZ

There is absolutely no opportunities in NZ. I have 56 resumes that come on over the last 6 months. Guys with over 1000hrs. I cant keep enough work up to my own pilots. The student load system in NZ has stuffed the industry. There is NO demand for helicopter pilots. It needs to stop before things get any better. The only ones benefiting out of it are the training organisations that are student load approved. Theres thousands of NZ guys out there trying to find work. With the downturn theres not even anything overseas for the experienced guys and no ones interested in taking on low time pilots. Too risky at this time.
