So if all the employees at AirNZ lost there jobs as well then you lot would feel better?
I don't think so!
You'd then be complaining that there were 650 NZ pilots stealing your jobs in CX,Emeriates,Europe,etc

Look I feel sorry for everyone that has lost there job at Ansett, I'm worried about mine as well! But you can't blame the AIRNZ employees and Kiwis for the actions of a few senior management. It aint gonna make time go back.

As I've said before if you are honest about Ansett, then this has been coming for 10years, we just ended up holding the baby.

If you want to blame the people responsible for the demise of Ansett, heres the list;

1, Abeles,Hawke

2, 89 Sc@bs

3, Murdoch (Asset stripping AN)

4, Keating (reneging on the open skies agreement to allow Airnz to operate domestic routes in Aussie)

5, News corp (cooking the books prior to sale)
6, Cushing (buying the other half)

7, Aust.government for not allowing us to restructure it without laying anyone off!! (that was a good one)

8, Outdated Aust.labour practises (cleaners getting 50k!!)
9, Aust. unions
10, NZ government for being a bit slow (probably just as well)

11, Aussie gov. for not helping out!
12, Anderson
13, CASA
14, SIA (to cunning for there own good)
15, Branson (cut price airline forcing fares down)
16, Oil prices,etc,etc

Blimming heck, it should have gone bust ages ago!!!

Dr Farmer last night produced on TV the documents given to your Government(June) outlining the huge financial losses An were incurring!! & they did nothing!! They obvisously care about you alot!!

So Knock OFF the Bashing!!

PS, if you wont load my 737 next week thats ok cause I'll do it myself.
