Got this email this morning:
Dear Craig
We are delighted to advise that we have today commenced recruiting A320 Line Captains and First Officers for Jetstar Airways Ltd (New Zealand).
We expect that this opportunity will be attractive for those pilots who currently live and work outside of Australasia and are considering returning for lifestyle/ family reasons, and those pilots considering changing fleet types - JetStar welcomes applications from non type rated pilots as well as those who have the A320 type rating.
Successful candidates MUST have the right to live and work in New Zealand (Australian passport holders are welcome to apply) and meet the minimum criteria outlined below.
As the aircraft are Australian registered, New Zealand ATPL holders will need to convert their licenses to Australian. This is a simple administrative process and we can provide advice around this.
Remuneration includes: Base payment, Sign-On Bonus, Retention bonus, Flight/Layover Allowances and Work Day Off Payments (all payments are in NZ$)
Base: New Zealand, Auckland (AKL) and Christchurch (CHC)
Term: Permanent
Please see the attached briefing documents for further details.

Have passes in all Australian ATPL subjects or equivalent
Hold, or be eligible to hold an Australian Class 1 Multi-Engine Command Instrument Rating
Current Class 1 Medical Certificate
