Live in NZ, fly for Qantas?
How about you live in NZ, and fly for Ear Nu Zillund?
If you wash a few aeroplanes and offer to work for less like most Kiwis I'm sure you'll get a look i, but hey I can see why working for Aussie dollars living in NZ is appealing. I would not want to work for Eir Nuw Zuland either.
They're all GA with jets these days including the rat.

We've got a few crew who live in NZ and commute. All the ones I know are pretty senior though and thus able to have a fair say in their rosters. That would certainly make things easier for them.
It'd be tough commuting from anywhere in the first couple of years- particularly if recruiting is slow at that time- but plenty have done it before.

QANTAS don't give two hoots where you live as long as you turn up for work when you're supposed to. I knew a classic F/O, when I joined Q in 1988, that commuted from Seattle, WA. He eventually retired quite young and went to live with the lady in Seattle.

I'm sure they would love it if you moved to NZ and changed over to the NZ based crew contracts.
I know of CX pilots that live in AKL & BNE, so I'm sure QF should have no problem with it.

Caveman,
At CX, thats their base........hahaha. Cx has bases all over the world and are payed in those countries and pay taxes there too.
So these pilots don't commute normally, some may, but depending on fleets, it could be difficult.
