Question Jobs at Air Nelson???

Hey all

I heard a rumour that 10 pilots from Air Nelson are leaving to take up offers at Origin? Is this true?

Will this mean that some of the contract pilots with Air Nelson will get full time offers?

Does this mean a further 10 pilots to be employed? Even if they are on contract?

i see in the press today that air nelson
metroliners are to operate more services to
blenheim and timaru, and that the arrival of more
saabs have freed up the old pencils, when did the
new saabs arrive and how many was there.

Another Saab rumoured to arrive mid Feb. Will bring the total to 15 Saabs. Will be crewed by Ex. Kendell Saab F/O's. All temps (currently 23 not including Australian F/O's) out on the street by November.

The FO's from kendell are not necessarily going to be EX KD FO's. If any of them have to resign at KD to do a contract in NZ they will be unpacking their bags very quickly. They are waiting for an answer at the moment.

The 15th SAAB arrives from Scandihoova in late Jan. The 14th is here (NLG ex Aus) soon to undergo a re-fit to give it a standard galley, leather seats etc, and soon after an avionics refit to bring it into line with the rest of the fleet (late APR). The 16th & 17th SAABs who knows? <img src="rolleyes.gif" border="0">

So far... only 5 of the Temp guys have resigned. Possibly 3 of the permanent also looking across the fence. She's all go in Dodge <img src="wink.gif" border="0">

Flew with a few Aussies (Hazos & Kendos) a while back, not too bad, and they will get the best of training. It's not the IMC that's the worry, it's the DME steps & terrain..you know, hills!

This will be good. Yeah right, our terrain around airports is a sh*tload worse than across the ditch, ever been into Cairns? As for IMC, NZ has benign weather in comparison to just about everywhere. Never mind........

Yup, liked Cairns a lot. Ah yes, the tropics... However do Kends & Hazos fly there (FNQ) or mainly the NSW/VIC/ACT area??
