WWW, good point about JAR Instuctors missing out on all the flying training that will be done by local instructors in New Zealand. Also, this is a modular course, a very interesting deviation from nearly every airline recruitment departments saying low houred bods must come from an integrated course...
I really have grave doubts the school in New Zealand can deliver on this. They will have to have full JAR approval (do they have it yet?), and will need close monitoring by experienced training providers. Only 2 schools in the past have tried something like this outside of Europe and both of those were integrated schools, and both made a pigs ear of things. Only hope they know what they are doing, but somehow I doubt it.
Someone mentioned it is costly compared to local NZ costs, well it is not NZ training!
