Pacific Blue Pilots
 
Is it true that 95% of the (less than 23) pilots hired are Australians...:confused:

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

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:cool:

Here we gooooo again!! Where did I put that violin? :yuk:

hoss 9th Jan 2004 10:01

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

Plas Teek 10th Jan 2004 03:30

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 !

Like Gary Toomey?:}

EPIRB 10th Jan 2004 14:47

Toomey got there after the damage had already been done.

BAE146 10th Jan 2004 15:56

I thought the Ansett theme song was "Shine" by Vanessa Amorosi?

The_Cutest_of_Borg 10th Jan 2004 18:58

Can someone please remind me why I bother to read some of these threads?... is the the trenchant insight...?... the thrust and parry of spirited intellectual debate?....no... thats not it .... (sigh):rolleyes:

Must be that shortage of pilots in NZ people are talking about :ouch:

wessex19 11th Jan 2004 09:05

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???:yuk:

kiwilad 11th Jan 2004 16:51

heard something similiar about the number of non-kiwi pilots at pb? Not saying good or bad just wanting to know if that is true or not???

Home Brew 12th Jan 2004 06:45

Well, who has a position there then??

I have heard that SOP Bob is the Ops Manager!!

Visual Landing 12th Jan 2004 10:01

Home Brew you are right

EPIRB 12th Jan 2004 11:34

At the big red rat.

propaganda 12th Jan 2004 18:07

Trimotor,

PB might be an Aussie company in sheeps clothing, but is'nt Virgin Blue a pommie company owned by one Sir Richard..until it floated on the stock market , so shouldn't VB have hired only pommie pilot's..........:ok:

Barbers Pole 13th Jan 2004 04:25

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

Jet Man 13th Jan 2004 16:34

Well I know 8 pilots that have a job with PB and none are Australian! Someone's math is amiss!

Plas Teek 14th Jan 2004 04:19

Splendid! Good to see some more jobs out there.
Glad to hear that.
Thanks for answering the question...

This is a rumour network after all :ok:
