Sorry guys, just guess sometimes I do shoot my mouth off. Please accept my apologies. Thanks for the Education.

 

Thanks for having the class to come back, admit you were wrong and apologize. Nice job.

 

Yea, I'm impressed. Well done.

To be fair, perhaps I was a bit curt, and presumptuous myself with the first question. I'd say it does pay to do a little bit of research, but I reckon that's what this sight is for, isn't it.

With that in mind, I can tell you that with a PR Visa and some turbine time Jetstar will look at you in NZ. Jetconnect as well, and they advertise right to work/work permit as the requirement. Air NZ and I believe Qantas both require at least PR.

If you can get right to work in Australia and you have some turbine time I would definitely check out Rex Air. Pretty good operation running Saab's, their hiring page is below.

If you can get/have right to work in Australia or New Zealand drop me a PM and perhaps I can be of assistance.(Dunnunda & Godzone if your looking at pprune and wondering what they are talking about; that would be Down Under for Aussie and Godzone for New Zealand, as it's so perfect if God was on the planet he/she'd live in NZ. If you were wondering that is)

Speight's, pride of the South. . . Nice avatar Tweet, when are you bugging out of the sandpit and coming down here?

 

Thanks Koru, How I'd love a nice cold one right about now! To answer your question...Somebody screwed up and made me chief pilot...so I signed up for another year...1 down, 1 to go. I'm going home for a month in about two weeks...I still have a 6 pack of Speights in the fridge waiting on me!

Cheers,

No shortage...never will be.

 

It's definitely better than that sheep's pee known as Mac's. At least Tui has the Miss Tui competition.

 

Let's play "spot the Aussie".

 

Ha ha ha guys. The rules of the game "down under" are about to change massively. Jetstar have announced a cadet scheme that has all the makings of been lifted directly from Ryanair or easyjet in Europe.

It is either an ab-initio or advanced cadet scheme whereby the victim, I mean the cadet, is required to in-debt themselves to the company for large sums of money to finish up (possibly) occupying the right hand seat of an A320 for 6 years on considerably less remuneration than is currently being paid to the FOs' and with no guarantee of continued employment at the end of the indentured period.

As one can imagine there is considerable angst among many GA drivers who are knocking on the door of the airlines as they feel cheated by some young moneyed kid short-cutting into an airline, while they, having done the "hard yards" in GA, look like being excluded.

I have thought for some time that airlines in Oz would go down the cadet route but not the way Jetstar seem to be going. There is also some suspicion that Virgin Blue may also go down this route but at this time it is only a suspicion.

 

Great now I have to watch the whole episode.... that clip was outstanding.
