Air NZ Pilot Contract
Hi everyone,
I am currently an A320 pilot in the USA and I have an opportunity to interview with Air NZ. I know that ANZ is very protective of the numbers in the new contract but I was wondering if anyone could share a bit of the info as to the life of an ANZ pilot (basic pay, travel benefits, decent medical, average schedule of a new Second Officer)?
I have a wife and kid and I want to make sure I make the best decision possible for my family.
Thanks!

Hey thanks for your responses. Like I said the main reason why I'm trying to acquire some info is because I currently fly for a decent company here in the US but have always wanted to fly for Air NZ and I want to make sure I'm making the right move for my family.

Of course money isn't the only thing to consider. Medical/dental benefits, flight benefits, retirement etc are all things I need to look at as well but I'm having a lot of difficulty finding even basic info in any of those areas.

Medical benefits - Nil
Dental benefits - Nil
Flight benefits - probably not as good as you're used to
Retirement benefits - Nil
Because the benefits you're asking about are pretty well non existent in any job in this part of the world you won't find much info.

Air New Zealand pilots have a reasonable superannuation (pension) plan, if you work there for 25+ years it is a reasonable amount of money, normally private health insurance (medical/dental) will be affordable to an individual..

Zlin77, the superannuation scheme is only the kiwisaver one. The employee's contribution being matched dollar for dollar by the company, just the same as for anyone working for any other company. Nothing all that special.

Does anyone have a pdf format of the latest Air NZ pilot contract? I tried to google it but saw nothing? I have the latest Virgin America pilot contract if anyone would like to exchange it to compare. Seeing if staying at VX would be good or maybe trying to try a shot for Air NZ or Fiji Airways in the future.
