Probably Not but have a Gander:
Plan aims at more pilots
By WARWICK RASMUSSEN ([email protected]) - Waikato Times | Monday, 03 Decemember 2007
Hamilton-based Waikato Aero Club and Tauranga-based Sunair Aviation have launched a new airline training programme aimed at getting more commercial pilots in the sky.
Club training manager Gordon Malcolm said the agreement was one of the first in the country to chart a clear pathway from flight training to working in an airline.
Sunair chief executive Dan Power said the development would go a small way to dealing with a shortage of trained flight crew. Waikato Aero Club already trains pilots working towards a diploma in aviation science.
The new scheme will link students who have finished basic training to a pre-employment interview with Sunair and the club. Mr Malcolm said he hoped the programme would put through between 10-15 people each year. It takes effect immediately.
