Visa
I worked for Airpac in 2004/5 on the 73 and at that time it was a requirement to have residency in Oz, NZ or the US. I believe that is still the case. They would only commute you on their own network so the main "gateways" were Sydney, Melbourne, Brisbane, Auckland, Honolulu and LAX. I commuted out of Sydney. There was a Canadian guy there at the time who was living under the radar, so to speak, in Honolulu. There was no requirement to have a Visa for Fiji as there was some sort of agreement with immigration that expat crew would spend a maximum of 14 days in Fiji at any one time. I would definitely get a definitive answer on all of this before you commit. Another small point to consider is that the salary was paid in NZ dollars so check out the exchange rate. Of course this was a long time ago however with Fiji time I very much doubt if much has changed. Bula!
