New Zealand Dash Ad

Post by '97 Tercel »

I thought this was kinda funny.....
The highlights include the following:

• Permanent contract – no contract term giving pilots much needed job security
• Month Salary Varies between NZD $7,4220 -$8,583
• Bases: Auckland or Napier
8 days off a month
• Layover and meal allowances included
• Career progression opportunity to the A320
• Long-term, stable assignment with a world renowned and financially strong airline
• Retirement / pension scheme with bonus opportunities
• Non-type rated pilots can apply and fly Dash 8 Q300
• Jetstar will arrange all work permit and visas for you and your family to settle in New Zealand
• Attractive relocation package offered
• The cultural, lifestyle, and travel opportunities are plentiful!
Wow, 8 days off a month!! That really IS a "highlight"!!

Roughly 90k/yr with the opportunity to move up to their mainline fleet...wonder what the cost of living is like down there ?? Might be not a bad gig considering the wawcon at the regionals here...or compare it to what Maldivian Airlines is offering for Dash 8 cpts :vom:

On par with Canada. Likewise if you were in Auckland be similar to YVR or YYZ. This mob have lots of smaller bases around the country in smaller, much more affordable locations like Napier and Nelson.

8 days off a month is due to their flight/duty time regs, assuming they're similar to Australia's. QantasLink Dash pilots also only get 8 days off a month, as their rest rules make it impossible to get the min credit in less days than that.

Apparently those guys are getting 10/11 days off a month at the moment.

Wait. I'm confused... first it's the millennials to blame for taking jobs like the one at Jazz with lowered WAWCON and now because someone says they wouldn't take a job with only 8 days off a month that makes them entitled? This site never ceases to amaze me. So what is it? Fight for better working conditions or take what you get?

As an AvCanada discussion grows longer:
-the probability of 'entitlement' being mentioned, approaches 1
-one will be accused of using bad airmanship

Did the head hunter outfit recruiting for (I assume Jetstar NZ) recently put out an ad for screenings this September in Vancouver ? Is there a pilot shortage down under or a "pay" shortage like here ?

Not really interested. There are much more lucrative contracts if you want to go overseas. New Zealand is nice, I'm sure, but so is Canada. Most Dash pilots willing to go work abroad would be better off sticking around until they upgrade to a jet and then use that experience to make some serious money. A lot of foreign contracts like this one that promise career advancement onto their jet fleet are just lip service.
