Pacific Blue Pilots

Is it true that 95% of the (less than 23) pilots hired are Australians...

Says a bit about who's doing what....

Well seeing Air NZ in its inability to run an airline cost the jobs of 1000 or so Aussie pilot's a couple of years ago, and PB being an Australian owned company I wouldn't think you Kiwi's would have a problem with that, however I do remember something about the Air NZ pilots wanting all the expansion when they brought the 2nd half of AN but were not there to share the spoils of 13/11/ 2001

Hey Barbers Pole if you've found the violin and you do requests, how about 'Absolutely' by Vanessa Amorozi .

I was more referring to the absolute slagging that came this way about Kiwis working for less.

Seems this was not the case.
Plenty of Aussies keen to work for less then eh?
Something like "Kettle Black, This is pot"

I think that violin is now playing a different tune......

And I think we all know why Anse%t went down the gurgler... but that's already been thrashed....


....and it's Amorosi !

Well here is a little unknown fact.
There are more Kiwis serving in the RAAF and RAN then in the RNZAF and RNZN!!! Anyhow, Just a thought.
What does the constitution say about the 7th State of Oz???

Devil

Strings are a bit worn out from playing "Gary went down with Ansett" aka "Devil went down to Georgia"
