Air Nelson

Heard through the rumour network that Air Nelson are thinking of running a groundcourse soon?

Any truth to it?

Could well be,

Have it on good authority that 12 people have been or being rung for interviews this very day!

Also from that good authority, it appears that 500 multi is their absolute minimum for selection.

Good luck chaps/chapettes

Seems to be interviews for 10 people next week spread over three days. Groundcourse for two weeks starting 15 September?

Aparently those who were called up will have start dates by the end of the year at the latest.

Mainly due to the end of the contract pilots from the previous years and the starting of Napier Base.

Good luck to them

Sorry chaps, no website.
What info are you looking for?
Most can be found in the back of one of Air NZ's in-flight mag.

I wouldn't say end of the contract pilots, just that they are all being re-hired/trained. Still on contract no-doubt.....

Well bot time air NS fired up again and S2K you as usual you are right on the money and in record time too! bit of a shame that the MM has gone to eagle mind you probably more his scene, based in some one horse town getting paid about the same as the doll riding "shotgun" with cpt's that are as abot as exicting as a poke in the eye (cos all the good one's have split to CX ect ect ) and a fleet cpt who's a theif mind you I hear that all night benders can be all good just rember a few simple rulz 1. getting a DIC/Crashing car on the way to work is bad 2. have a spit in the cockpit is a shure give away (have heared that blaming it on food poisoning has worked) 3. watch who your wingman/WOMAN is not just simply going to tell on you

Just remember that Topper H's comments were NOT aimed at Air Nelson....

No of course not, the Air Nelson guys prefer to kick up their heels at the airport Centra.

Does that point need to be illustrated...?
Try looking at the positive rather than the negative.

Your attitude appears to be that provided no Sh*t is being slung at your little airline thats fine. That idiot a few posts ago was having a go at Eagle indicating that Air Nelson is squeaky clean............It's not. And quite frankly if I was ever to go back, I would fly at Eagle any day before even considering Air Nelson, your attitude is indicative of a lot of your colleagues.
That said, good luck to the guys I hope Air Nelson takes a big load on.

If you go back further (like the start), you will see that the post title is Air Nelson, hence the clarification; as those not in the know might get the two confused. (Topper H's post muddied the waters a bit...)
I didn't see anything stating that NSN was squeaky clean & I doubt if ANY airline is. I'm also not saying you're incorrect.
I'd guess that there are people all over this forum that would be thinking "there but for the grace of God...." etc, etc.

Each has their good & bad points (like any job!) and I'm sure if Nsn enlisted you b4 Eagle did, you might have thought differently. I'm not bad mouthing Eagle and never have. I still know many in & from there in all sorts of airlines.

My attitude (or intention), as you put it, (& I didn't know you knew most of the 130+/- pilots in Air Nelson) was to gently get the post back to the positives of employment with Air Nelson and possibly help (in a limited way as I don't work for them) anyone asking for it.

So as you can guess, I saw no relevance in the bad aspects.....
Those in the know, know. Those not, will most likely find out, probably at a Bar....BQ

Oh, and Air Nelson is the second largest Airline in NZ. (dom)
