Agreed Remoak!
I withdrew my Air Nelson application 12 months ago as it was going nowhere. Since then I have added a few new skills and a few more hours to my basket and have done more in the professional development area than I would have had I been there.
Personal circumstances have now changed and Mrs NWF and I are keen to move back to NZ. In order to facilitate that I recently applied to Air NZ. (since they introduced RTG) I'll be interested to see if I hear anything back or if the fact that I previously applied to NS and withdrew will have a negitave effect on my application.
