Pakeha boy,
One of the first things I said was that anz isn't the be all and end all. I know that because I too have flown all over the world and been able to make comparisons. I stand by my comments which are saying that in nz anz is pretty much the best thing going in terms of a combined package of money/time off/stability/lifestyle.
Personally I don't really care about doing take offs and landings or about getting a wide body command, the two big issues people always raise. The simple fact is that Ive done better hands on flying and held commands elsewhere, so I'm not too worried about doing it at anz.
To be honest the more guys that head overseas the better as I have plenty of mates waiting to get in that I would love to share a flight deck with, instead of some of the whingers out there who seem to love just running things down that they don't know anything about.
