Massey I'm in complete agreement to you....its all about the locals looking after the locals.
If you are on the outside it seems unfair, if you are on the inside it seems just...and if its their train set, no matter how much shouting, table thumping or hand wringing...its their train set.
Air NZ is a special case in the sense that its a heavily unionized national carrier, by definition the union and airline can pretty much do what suits their own interests with respect to recruitment/experience etc etc.
As for gaining NZ experience, well I get about 6 hrs of flying in the NZ FIR a month....so I'm well on my way to that magic 50hrs.....am just dusting off my application to fly the mighty Dush ate qeww 3 hundrud
The attitudes in NZ aviation are no different to what it was like 15 years ago when I left.
