Ultimately I'd rather be a JQ cadet than unemployed and not flying for a year waiting for a GA job to come around.
Basically that means you are just too lazy to put in the hard work and lack any persistence.

You haven't even got the patience to wait only 1 year and do something else such as stack shelves in Coles whilst waiting for that GA job ?

How about waiting for up to 5 years, like some people have done ?

But persistence and hard work pays off, obviously you lack these qualities and you are just looking for a quick short cut to the top.

Management are exploiting people like you to bring down the terms and conditions for the whole industry. Thanks mate.

To be honest, GA flying is some of the best flying you will ever do and its a pity you will miss out on it. If only GA paid as much as the airlines did, many airline pilots would probably go back to it

I'm yet to find any website that advertises NZ pilot jobs so either there just aren't any available or they recruit through other means.
You won't find a job sitting at home clicking away at a computer. Buy an old beaten station wagon (the best a GA pilot can afford), pack all your belongings in the back and make the well trodden pilgrmage out bush without any guarantee of success. A big risk but most land on their feet eventually.

This is all part of the fun actually and you will back on it one day with very fond memories, though it might not seem like fun at the time.
