No kidding. . . how did they pull that one off.
I spent alot of time in Fiji when I was on the 767 (not my first choice for base, nice to visit though)and have been contacted as of late regarding their B767 operation. They run through pilots pretty quickly because, in my opinion, their pay is very substandard (mid $70's Kiwi for FO on the 767, not sure about the 737), and their are really no benefits, that 70 odd thousand is what you get with perdiems. They have an Auckland base so you would think it would be help in getting people from here, but there are so many other options in Australasia that they really aren't getting any takers. At the ens od the day an FO on the 767 at Air NZ makes three times what their compatriate at Air Pac does.
And then there is living in Fiji. . .
