Correct, Keg! It now appears that FLEW are trying to back-peddle on the deal - the dramatic increase in loss of revenue from the beginning of February MUST be a big concern for them no doubt - and it's similarly obvious that the M&M's are refraining from saying anything too strongly worded wrt TESNA(probably until AFTER the deal has gone through, anway!). . .All of this does NOT give the public much faith in Ansett's medium to long-term future - IF it does reach the launch pad, hence the reluctance to purchase tickets from an airline that could quite perceivably cease trading altogether on February 28!!
Post Feb. 28 - which EVER way it goes - I believe we might witness some "interesting" legal encounters between Andersons and FLEW.
However it is the Ansett employees - post and current - who have been played (by the ACTU + FLEW) as the expendable pawns in this game!!
