CC, fair enough. If you received no feedback then you have been poorly treated. Everyone should get a reason, and my understanding was that unless you really screwed the pooch generally applicants get another shot. One word of advice would be don't pay too much attention to the HR wonks. There is so much going on at the moment that one hand often doesn't know what the other is doing. Keep updating and emailing the right people to find out what went wrong last time. All your points about working in the links are fair ones. It was my route in as well. Despite the "we are all in this together" talk, Airnz is definitely not one airline for the staff. And this is very deliberate.
