Thought I'd re-energize this thread, if only for a bit of gloating!
I've watched, but not contributed to, newer threads on the AN/ANZ debacle - Anderson described as The Minister for
Qantas, I love it!! I foreshadowed
that a couple of weeks ago, just review my posts.
However, I do see a bit of navel gazing going on in West Island, I truly believe that is healthy and will lead, eventually, to all those responsible - on BOTH sides of the Tasman - being called to account, all to the good.
The aftermath has already had an effect.
Decimation of the culprits on the Air NZ Board, The NZ gov shelling out big bucks to keep the national carrier airborne (instead of [sly dig here] AN employees in clover), and, on tonight's news, Air NZ pulling off the SYD-LAX-SYD route, which brings a smile.
THAT was the only route our pre-'92 contract, so I'm told, didn't fit. That small fact lead to the early -90s lease of our first B747-400 to CX which in turn lead to the split of the Air NZ pilots etc etc.
Can't help smiling about that.
