HAHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA...... .Quote. ."The passengers on board two Ansett flights between Melbourne and Sydney expected nothing more from the airline's cash-strapped administrators than a glass of water. Instead they were treated to a preview of the meals that Ansett's prospective new owners plan to serve their passengers.
In business class there was a choice of ciabatta rolls filled with beef, marinated eggplant and peppers, or green Thai chicken pita wraps, all served with boutique beers, wine and champagne and followed by fresh fruit, tea and coffee. In the main cabin there was no choice, but a full bar service accompanied the pita wraps.
It was done 10 days ago without fanfare and most certainly without media attendance, lest the details or the recipes should prematurely reach the lunchbox operators at Qantas.". .Unquote
. .No one believes this crap. So they found a sucker company to provide food on a couple of flights, big deal!! I hope they paid them cash as the staff are still waiting for their government guaranteed entitlements (SEESA) five months after the collapse of Ansett. Ask any of your friends if they would buy a ticket on AN MK2 and see what they say.
Quote. ."So far little has been revealed about the airline that the Tesna consortium, headed by businessmen Lindsay Fox and Solomon Lew, will operate. But as negotiations over the Ansett lease at Sydney Airport turned nasty last week, early signs emerged that a fierce dogfight will erupt in our skies.
For example, there was the rumour that the A320 Airbuses Tesna is leasing from Airbus Industrie in Toulouse are not new but the left-overs from Sabena, the recently collapsed Belgian airline, and America West, where a Tesna backer, Bill Franke, was chief executive.
The rumour, which Tesna has denied, came from an unnamed airline source. It is typical of the sandbagging that is a hallmark of a highly competitive industry, which fights over every bum on 18 million seats a year". .Unquote
Are there any engineers left at Ansett, I thought they had all left or are planning on retirement or a job O/S as Tesna did not require their services!! Tesna is in for a rude shock after they finally realise that they need skilled people and will have to pay for them.
