Whos going to paint the existing Aircraft..I know people in Quay St, Line Maintenance, Heavy Maintenance and they all say Company spirit is at an all time low. From what I've seen on the apron, some sort of low level industrial action even... Can't see anyone lining up to do extra work!
Oh and that post about Ansett..what an Ass. Who really laments the passing of that monolithic lame dog. AirNZ was sold a pup and the staff and equipment was bottom of the barrell. All you can blame AirNZ for was not doing due dilligence.
