When will you Aussies get your heads out of the sand about Ansett (RIP) - it was not a "great" airline, it was inefficient, poorly managed, staff were overpaid, (especially pilots) and had an archaic perating culture. It was NOT ANZ's preferred entry to Australian operations, it was the route forced on ANZ by unscrupulous and dishonest Australian politicians - note, the NZ Govt continues to honour the agreement re domestic operations for NZ/Aust carriers which is STILL not honoured by the Aust Govt - no surprise there I guess - AND the ANZ Ansett purchase was hamstrung by all sorts of (now published) union driven/vote keeping limitations preventing effective efficiencies/work practices/operating policies and procedures. On the up-side, thanks for taking Jensen back, with our sympathy!!
