Question

1989.........................(or was it Air Sheep and 2 me in TNO's case?)

Enough to drive you to drink ...bourbon & Coke, thanks!

So TNO do you think that Air New Zealand really knew how serious Ansett's financial problems were, but were gambling on SQ wanting to get in badly enough, that they (Air NZ) went ahead and bought in anyway???

In hindsight - and being a dyed-in-the -wool conspiracy theorist - and with Ms Margaret Jackson's (of QF) latest comments (""We have been very disappointed that we have been unable to form an alliance with Air New Zealand") , AND with the Howard Liberal Government (John Anderson's party) in power stated preference for Air NZ to have AN....do you believe that it could have been an attempt to torpedo Air New Zealand thereby giving QANTAS a boost in the trans-Tasman traffic?
