Night VFR Endorsement - worth it?
In the '80s they used to automatically remove a NVFR rating's 'S/E Only restriction' once you gained a M/E CIR. That's what happened to me and to others: Sent in the old book licence & back it came with a brand new CIR and a stamp over the NVFR bit cancelling the S/E only restriction.

Just a question, would a fresh cpl pilot heading up north for their first season be put at a significant disadvantage by going up without the NVFR rating or CIR?
No to the CIR, but if you have that and your ATPLs you can fly without having to head back to civilization before you can progress
All the blokes going up have similar hours on similar types at similar flying schools.
The bare minimum you want right now is:
CPL with retrac and CSU (don't laugh, most of the Kiwis had never flown anything bigger than a 152 unless they did a CIR in a P68 in which they won't have a retrac)
NVFR
DG
First Aid
Very Handy - initial Multi.
Attitude is what will get you the job. (and they seem to like small blokes and shielas as it = more payload)
