Captain David Morgan: Air NZ Chief Operational Integrity and Safety Officer on the airline launching a new pilot training program

The sky's the limit for aspiring pilots, as Air New Zealand launches their Mangōpare Pilot Cadetship scheme. The program is open to applications - and will fast-track the journey from becoming a commercial pilot from 24-36 months to approximately 14 months. The airline's Chief Operational Integrity and Safety Officer, Captain David Morgan, says it's important they future-proof their pilot ranks.

Airlines are expanding, Air New Zealand will grow - and also, there's an aging pilot issue."  LISTEN ABOVE  See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
