If you look at this long term ( say over 30 years) it's got the potential to completely stuff the career for Kiwi's. once it is on the list it will effect pay rates and progression, because of that less people will fork out the 80k or so to become qualified and it will stay on the list due to an actual shortage of Kiwi pilots eventually.
That's great for Air NZ, bad for New Zealanders.Alpa and GAA are doing the right thing by objecting strongly IMO.
