SBF: good news for your job. All good things come to those that wait.
I tried Air Nelson and Eagle Airways with no joy. Phoned them and they tried to fob me off with pathetic reasons. I ended up arguing with the recruitment lady over something so insignificant that actually had nothing to do with my application or flying. She could not actually come up with a reason why I was not employable so just made things up. Looking back both companies actually did me a favour.
You are right, they do need to change their ways but might just need management to move before any changes will take place. Might not be in our life time so a long time to keep applying. I moved on and was the best thing I ever did.
Nz is not the b all and end all of aviation, could be the latter but i think OZ was a good way to go. Leave those guys to carry on doing the same things they do and let them be happy with it.
By the sounds of things you have gained some great experience in various parts of the world so lets let them gain what ever it is they gain while flying in NZ.
All the best mate
