As 27/09 said, very very few new pilots will go straight into the AirNZ group but the majority will be expected to go out into GA like everyone else and boost their TT and experience in prep for when they meet the requirements.
What the FTO students will have over the non-FTO students is that their ANZ applications will have a stamp on it saying "AirNZ FTO trained" and THAT is what will give them an advantage in their recruitment to AirNZ.....
That is all.....
