Max reheat, drop out of law first year to take up flying? AirNZ lost because under NZ law there was a requirement by the company to assess providing employment in some way shape or form. Age discrimination. And there was a requirement to pay the same pay scale as they had at age 65. CX NZ pilots have just fought to prove they're not under HKG employment law.
I'd say in the future large amounts of money will be spent by the AOA fighting to get NZ based crew doing some form of employment (updating FCOMs, PXing Hkg to work in office etc) on their full pay they were receiving when they were no longer able to fly a 340 to HKG.
