"P.P" I think you miss the point "Whiskery" is spot on, if the "Three STOOGES" hadn't meddled in the show in 1989 Ansett would still be flying today with around 50% of the domestic traffic.
RB who is currently soaking up the sun in the Bahamas was quoted on the news yesterday saying that Governments should never bail out failing businesses especially airlines and Aus is the only country whose populous seem to think it is OK to do so.
All the good guys left AN in '89 and left it to you lot to navigate it down the gurgler rudderless. .12 years later, unfortunately taking a lot of loyal misguided ancillary staff with it.
R.I.P. Ansett a once Great Airline pre'89. <img src="rolleyes.gif" border="0">
