23 types in the fleet? How many years are you going back & including to get that figure?

You'll find hardly any AN staff saying it was a bed of roses before ANZ got in. We all knew it needed heaps of cash to basically start again, and at the time, SQ were willing to buy in & had indeed signed on the dotted line when those bumbling crusaders from across the Tasman screwed the pooch! (Before you start again, we know it wasn't the guy who cleans the aircraft in CHC that did it! It was a bunch of FW's on the top floor of a certain building.))

The real kodak moment was when they smashed all the piggy banks to pay for AN without due dilligence! Perhaps, at that stage SQ would've pulled out as well, unlike some, I don't believe we'll ever know.

Caveat emptor my friend.....
