Nice to make your acqaintance Larian. Good luck with the immigration stuff.
There are new courses advertised just about monthly now. Not sure how long it will last but I recon we'll see more come the spring (your fall). They are adding another 733 and are supposed to announce another heavy order in Nov.
Something to keep in mind if you are military. Air NZ will take you without an ATPL, it is something they do on a regular basis with the military chaps, as long as you have the requesite experience. Not sure about Pac Blue or Air Pacific (both have NZ bases).
I could use some more people whom I understand (I'm going to get in trouble for that one).
