Post 16 by Wyomingpilot is not even close to accurate, there are plenty of guys on the A330 in Australia with rosters over the last 2 years that can refute those comments. The bond seems to depend on agency as both Longreach and GABS have both denied in writing a pre paid bond is required. P1 seems to be the norm but with Chinese captain as PIC but then again there are not enough foreign pilots to run with 2 on each flight. Rostering 787 is a huge guess as currently only GZ based and off to LHR so no real guess where you will go, if you use the A330 in Aust as an indication, we were told you could do GZ returns or ask to go on further in the network, 787 flight times shows 24 hours return to GZ maybe woodja51 can comment on A330 rosters. They have confirmed enough guys now through screening successfully to confirm Auckland NZ base will go ahead.
