Hi There,
Does anybody have the scoop on ANZ? Currently I am flying a turboprop in Canada, and am considering a change of scenary.
There have been a couple of threads on Avcanada regarding a move down under, but some of the replies tend to conflict with one another. For example, I have heard it is both very easy, or extreamly difficult to gain resedancy status and convert licences, depending on whom you talk to.
A couple of questions I have;
What is the current recruiting market like for pilots down under, and do you anticipate a trend up or down in th forseeable future?
Is there even a requirment for pilots from overseas at this time?
Any ifo is greatly appreciated,
Fly safe!

No further hiring from NZ for at least the rest of the year. Still 20+ alpicants on yes letters awaiting start date. I would be surprised to see more interviews before mid 07.
Converting to a NZ license will be a piece of cake. They do take some overseas pilots.

I know of at least 2 kiwis who have gone the other way - NZ to Canada, as the opportunities were better there at that time (admittedly 4 or 5 years ago now)
Both had previous Canadian time, and are now skippers at Westjet.
