Hi guys been a while...... Ive been building my twin hours.
How many more do you guys think I need before the Eagle or Air Nelson.
I know mr Bank angle and I think Im probably doing better than he did at his internal assesments so hopefully Ill know when to point out a captains error or just when he is doing it for a joke.
Any ideas as to when they are hiring again because it would be good to get this job lined up before the summer kicks in so I can organise my leave for xmas and NYs
Cheers

FACT.. ACECTC.... YOUR NOT A CTC CADET....
so why do you feel the need to post these comments, anyone who has a bit of sense will know this is just set up for people who want to see these boys fail and not make the cut and in general make themselves feel better knowing that they have a few virtual friends who share the same mindset.... is it really necessary!! maybe they have made a few errors but instead of writing about it why dont you tell them so they can learn, it just seems a bit ridiculous and unprofessional!! YES

AceCTC I hear Eagle are running interviews every two weeks from now until August '09.. They have another B1900 joining the fleet. If you have more than 10 hours ME time then you'll get in.
According to a mate of mine, he said the CTC guys like you are so good, that in 18 months you'll be having your command, and they'll also waive the bond when Air NZ give you the call after 24 months as a DE 777 captain too..
Good luck!

Ahh the sweet stench of bull****. It wafts around these forums like a fart through a 172. 
It's rather obvious that the CTC cadets are here, posting in this thread. G'day lads, sorry to hear about your checks.
I don't think anyone here with a 'real job' can deny they would have jumped at the chance to fly a 1900 when they were back on 200 or 300 hours, but I can imagine that most if not all would have the utmost respect for the chance and the people already doing it. That said, GA teaches you how to get out of bed early, work on min rest, and drink like a fish. Rather important skills for your budding airline career.
You never own your job - your only as good as your last check. Your not going to get anywhere showing captains such little respect. That's life, and seeing as your a few years ahead of where the NZ industry traditionally would have placed you I suggest you learn quickly.

Oh dear 
To be honest, I feel sorry for the guys at CTC (or those that care), I think this has been blown way out of proportion, and have to agree with cornelious-rinitus in some ways.
I dunno, maybe I'm just too soft, but I think there's a lot to be said for giving people the benifit of the doubt before dining out on their fcukups. Particularly where youth and inexperience are involved. I can't help but think some of this is driven by jealousy? Just my thoughts anyway

<sigh> 300hrs gets some lucky guys on the right seat of a jet in Europe.
Some people here are taking the thread too seriously.
The same kinda attitude that will keep NZ aviation the way it is.

400 hours in a 200 hour course? haha sounds like quite a bit of remedial training going on there buddy... maybe you aren't as sh1t hot as you think. I did hear cook are looking for ramp crew. Maybe with those extra hours you'll have enough to apply for a baggage boy. W@nker.
