Aloha - it seems I am at about the same place as you - I just submitted my residency application and now I'm trying to get the study material together for the Air Law Exam (seems like a lot for a 40 question paper!!)
Does anyone know if you have to have your log books/licence assessed by Aviation Services before you can take the Air Law Exam? I guess their assessment is only valid for one year - I don't really want to send my stuff and pay the fees if its going to expire before any chance of an interview with Air NZ (or do you have to have it done before applying?) Any thoughts on this?
I saw today Air NZ is making some redundancies - who knows whats going to happen with the economy - but anyway I'm still moving forward because I guess anything could happen.
