But surely you only give a t*ss what the NZD is compared to the USD if you are thinking of moving on overseas again. Jetstar NZ is not a contract to make money from, is is currently and will remain the best DEC jet job available in New Zealand. Living in New Zealand and not China, Middle East is personally worth more to me than all these contracts / middle eastern carriers can offer
No argument AH, but I think you missed my point, i.e. For those of us currently offshore....is it still a potentially attractive option?
A quick straw poll of some the kiwis I fly with here in the sandpit suggests that for many of them it's not...which when I got the email asking for expressions of interest for DEC positions was the idea?
I hope your efforts bear fruit, but I still think my time in NZ will be down time between contracts, as I don't think with 2 kids, a mortgage, and a couple of properties spread around the world....I could afford to do otherwise
