TIMMEEEE[B]

Air Hag, spot on about how their entry into the market effectively drove another airline out of business and were waiting in the shadows to pick up the pieces.
But then again thats what business is all about, survival of the fittest.
You are kidding mate.
When VB arrived on the scene they had 2 planes. ANSETT was haemorrhaging due to years of bad management and high costs. Yes it was opportunistic of VB to come into the market, but in business it is all about timing.
You are currently bagging VB about how badly managed they are, but isn't it ironic that this is what caused ANSETT to fall over in the first place.
If you want to get on your high horse start bagging the ANSETT/Air NZ management for the whole cock up in the first place.
