Just a minute! Those are my former babies you're slagging!!

There are much older and higher time airframes doing sterling service in second level operations around the world. Ryanair, for example, have only now ordered the replacements for their 737-200s.

Our 73s were in good nick with great dispatch reliability when the world fell apart, and will give years of good service yet.

I'm not sure which aircraft are being refered to, but CZT for example, was only 8 years old.

Spare a thought for those of us who spent the best years of our lives flying these lovely aeroplanes. I only hope all the ex-Ansett pilots AND aircraft find themselves plying the airways again soon.
