Thanks for all the replies.
I'm not really interested in the air force as it take 10 years, and it not something that sounds to interesting for me.
Find somebody who works for a twin engine or turbine or jet operation as a pilot and ask them how long, and what they had to do to get where they are
Could anyone give a a brief run down of there experience to get where they are now?
I've read quite a few times that it might be better off to study something unrelated to aviation for a degree and get my license at CTC (or not Massey). Are there any major advantages or disadvantages to this?
I really have no problem with leaving NZ to get a job, if that's where the money is.
