Gnadenburg - you're dreaming mate. Air NZ is probably in one of the strongest positions out of any airline. There will be many long careers to be had there.
It's your call mate. I'm not being a Cassandra, I'm saying that an investment in a legacy carrier is potentially a very risky consideration. Especially as a long term F/O.
I know. I was dumped out of one as a 9 year F/O and had to leave my home shores and started again abroad. I have been abroad for 7 years and can retire at 40; or choose a flying career where money is a firm secondary consideration.
My opportunity doesn't exist any longer. Perhaps, in a decade, nor will the Middle East option. Which is an ugly scenario if Air NZ restructures, is bought out or any number of possibilities in the next 15 to 20 years.
