A B733 would be struggling in the "Boeing Average winds" to make YPAD ex NZ and the ANZ/SJ Fuel policy, whereby an alternate is ALWAYS carried - this notwithstanding, SJ is a financially sound operation and fills the role for ANZ that Australian Airlines will for QF - as an aside, those who think current QF F/Deck crew will operate AA flights - a look at the ANZ/SJ relationship may help shed light on such airline inter-relationships - NOW - I have tried to keep the above factual and free of any abuse - wonder how long before another attack of West Island vitriol is poured down on me/ANZ/NZ???
