There is also there have been a number of highly qualified, very competent link pilots who have been through the interview process and have been rejected from Air New Zealand Jet.
A lot of the younger regional pilots are looking at these highly regarded pilots within the links who aren't successful at Jet and are thinking "If they can't get in, then there isn't much hope for me."
The world requires more pilots than what they are producing at the moment and Air New Zealand isn't the be all and end all job it once was.
But then the link airlines aren't the job they once were either, a lot of people are wanting out because flying for a link airline no longer fits with the lifestyle they once had.
