any info on CAA licence would be good. I've been in contact with CAA but difficult to get an answer. I tried that airmech website but wasn't working.
Thanks for the help.

Assuming the NZ system is similar to UK system, the CAA are no longer issueing LWTR you will now have to go for JAA 66 B1, and that will take a lot of conversion, whereas before you would of only had to do air leg, i's a bit more involved. Have a look at the CAA website CAA (http://www.caa.co.uk) and go to the Safety regulation pages all the info should be there. Good luck I think you might need it.

With a 74 type on your licence about the only two serious options are BA or Virgin. BA are fine if you don't mind working a 7 on 3 off 7 on 4 off shift and being treated like dirt. Virgin are a far better company to work for , and after all the RR Classics at LGW are all ex ANZ anyway so you'd be on familiar territory. If you are interested drop them a CV at: Arrivals, Virgin Atlantic Airways, Griffin House, 135 High Street, Crawley, RH10 1DQ not sure if there are any jobs at the mo but with the fleet expanding like it is currently you might be in luck

Good Luck!
