Re post 36
Guess I could say the same...eh!
Be assured I have no agenda other than to reiterate Haughtneys sentiments in post 41 (sorry H).
It is pleasing to see some here actually grasping the greater geo-political issues, but I find it puzzling that most Australians (some notable exceptions above) find it difficult to recognise the role of the Singaporeans and insist on predominately blaming the NZer's (or is this the usual churlish sheep rhetoric).
As a footnote, it's interesting to observe a similar management culture of excess at Qantas over the last few years, similar to that which existed at Air NZ and AN through the 1990's.... unfortunately I'd say .... "watch that space"
