Basair advert for Kiwi instructors?
Just wondering if anyone has an insight to why Basair (australia) are advertising for kiwi instructors on the AFAP site?

Supply and demand i'm guessing. No instructiong jobs in NZ anymore since govt canned student loans. Will probably have a hard time convincing them to leave NZ cos they all waiting for a seat at GBA.
$1AUD=$1.30NZ so for a KIWI with the Air Pilots Award wages it's at least a 30% pay rise plus the difference in T&C's which I am sure are much worse in NZ.Otherwise we wouldn't have an invasion of Kiwi pilots.A situation that has been going on for at least 40 years that I am aware.

Hah! You don't need to advertise salary ..just airfare and free coffee and biscuits in the staffroom..over here instructors don't get payed..and when the weathers no good the senior instructors use the juniors as furniture!

Care to elaborate why you don't like the place? I see quite a few posts against BasAir but no real reasons why...
There's clearly interest from kiwi pilots here from what I've heard, but I'm a touch suspicious about why they would be interviewing in a different country.

Um....is that actually legal? I'm not certain that it is...would I be considered ineligible because I'm a Aussie? How many of these (Basiar) people would attend the local RSL on Anzac day?
How disgusting....

Possibly all, castrol.
Considering ANZAC. We were on the same side, and fought together. Not that a couple of wars has anything to do with Basair recruiting

Framer, fair call on the error. Typing on an iPhone without my glasses wasnt a great idea. Maybe I should have employed the services of AN NZ resident and sacked my Aussie office girl.
I was simply trying to illustrate that to publish an advertisement and make it a condition that you must be of a specific nationality/residency seems a bit unfair and possibly unlawful.
As a business owner and employer, I surely would be crucified if I did the same.
You reckon macca's or coles could get away with it?
I wonder what the true motivation is considering the add states renumeration is paid according to the award.

Before you all get too upset, does anyone actually know where the ad was copied from? Reposted from a publication in NZ perhaps? If advertising in NZ it would make sense to tailor the ad to the potential applicants.
I don't know anything about Basair but Im sure they are hiring Australian pilots as well. Have any of the whingers actually called or applied?
