Air NZ FTO partners
I am planning on studying next year for my pilot licences but don't know what would be best for me in the future, i live in tauranga NZ and am wondering if it would be better to study at say the likes of bay flight or go for one of air NZ FTO partners and be more likely to get a job as a airline pilot for air NZ.
What would be the best option to do?
thanks Josh

It will still be possible to get a job with Air NZ without going through the system but it would be to your advantage to go through the system they have set up.
Those students that do the scheme and end up going back to GA will have no better chance than those who didn't go thru this scheme. So unless you're one of the lucky few you might as well stay in TG.
I'm only quoting what I have heard around the traps so stand to be corrected.
Theres something in the fine print about the FTO's saying something like "If there is high demand for pilots then graduates from these partners will be selected first"
Or something to that effect.

As 27/09 said, very very few new pilots will go straight into the AirNZ group but the majority will be expected to go out into GA like everyone else and boost their TT and experience in prep for when they meet the requirements.
What the FTO students will have over the non-FTO students is that their ANZ applications will have a stamp on it saying "AirNZ FTO trained" and THAT is what will give them an advantage in their recruitment to AirNZ.....
That is all.....

Hah..and when airnz calls, they'll be in Africa or NT or somewhere working out a 2 year training bond because there ain't no GA jobs here
