Are they still recruiting 500hr FO's for the turboprops? If so what would an FO make with ATPL exam credits? What is an average time to command on the TP? Hrs flown per year, do many people break monthly guarantee? What's the typical time to the jet fleet, better off to go elsewhere and skip the links and the 8yr ban and get in as an external? What bases are people tending to get? Which fleet is the preference? Are people actually getting hired at 500 hrs?
Cheers

I've never seen AirNZ change their listed minimums - if you have enough to meet them and get an interview you've got a good shot. Hiring has been slowing, but is still regular.
Time to command, fleet, and hours flown per year can vary a lot and will depend on what fleet/base you are. If you already hold ATPL minimum hours, then the requirement you are likely waiting for is 1000hrs part 121 before you can upgrade. I'd say a command somewhere 2-3yrs is achievable, but if you've already got similar experience it could be pretty much straight away.
There's no minimum guarantee, its straight salary + meal/overnight allowances, with your exam credit say 85-95K NZD. Ollie Onion is onto it about the jet progression, it feels like crystal ball stuff.

Is there any appetite / pressure to drop the “B” pay-scale (same job, same pay and all that…).
I believe it’s about an extra 1k in the pocket per month? It might go some way attracting higher time pilots which I’m sure they need for command upgrades.

There is a lot of pushback on that front - I'd expect that to happen in the next CEA which is maybe a year away? It would help reduce attrition as well so I think they'll go for it.

I guess I should have put a sarc warning on it for the blind....
But seriously, it demonstrates that people either have short memories or a complete lack of knowledge on why the blended rate exists in the first place.
