The NZ operation is completely different.
1- Less Money
2- Less Days Off
3- Longer trips (up to 6 days away)
However the flying is really good and not as fatiguing as domestic. Maximum 1 maybe 2 sectors a day. One could argue that it's inefficient utilisation of crew in NZ however it's all based around the company schedule. My mates who are based in NZ enjoy it and they seem a much happier camp.
Just need to weigh up the pros and cons and do what's best for you.
