The Ardern Government has taken a small step in the right direction. The 1979 Government of the day and Air New Zealand’s CEO and Board were a disgrace. They alone tainted the country’s reputation for the past 40 years. An act of complete bastardry and dishonesty at the highest levels.
Today, 28 November 2019, I ponder in solitude about the lives of some dear friends and colleagues and how those lives may have turned out. Their deaths were unnecessary, but graciously fast. The Crew had an inkling for around 3 seconds, the rest of the souls onboard knew nothing. In the mountains of NZ I raise a glass of fine wine, light another cigar and painfully remember a day that I will never forget. From me, it’s goodnight and farewell until next year.
In God’s speed.
