Hi,
Sorry about that JSF, I just sent you a PM and then saw this thread. I'll PM you.
I have been a bit on the busy side and have spent most of my time on this site railing about 777's that land short of runway's.
FlyingKiwi, I flew with a guy two weeks ago to CYVR, another dozer on the 777 and he did just what you are doing, except his mother was the Yank. He flew the RJ's for independance and it's predecessor until they went belly up, both in the right and left seat. The company is very serious about bringing Kiwis with experience back to the home land so you'd have no problems getting in I think. I shall find and post the latest company material relevant ti hiring that was sent to me by the man in charge of the selection program as it will shed some light on what Air NZ is looking at lately.
