Everyone says the VANZ contract is crap but it's actually better than Jetconnect and Jetstar NZ. More pay, more days off and the option to return to Australia. I wouldn't say it's crap in comparison.
Corkey. What you're saying is super hypocritical. Years ago Kiwis flocked to the GA scene in Australia to get their hours up. Most of them are now back in NZ flying for the airlines. So be careful what you say. If things go south in NZ you'll be the first one knocking on the door to get into Australia...
