Heartfelt condolences to those (non-scabs) who have lost their jobs with AN's demise.
This is the second Australasian recent ex-Murdoch airline to go down this year with the loss of jobs and an apparent inability to repay entitlements.
I may be mistaken but I think the QF NZ staff are looking at something considerably less than 10 cents in the dollar.
It seems that NewsCorp has given Brierleys a lesson in asset stripping.
My question is why would AN staff wish to see a company which is still generating revenue (AirNZ) and therefore providing some hope (possibly thru court action) of repayment brought down out of sheer spite?
I'm no defender of the AirNZ Board and I think I understand the anger but lets not shoot at the wrong targets here. Blockading and blacking ANZ aeroplanes is helping no-one.
I did a quick check on the author of mut's quoted article and found what I expected. Mark Westfield is a News Corp apologist.
Good luck. I hope not to be extending the job queue.
