E.P.
I hope you don't make decisions at work like you go off in this forum.
AN was stuffed 10 years (plus) ago.
Even SQ could not have saved the jobs, conditions and expectations of the airline as it was.
Those efficient little SQ'ers would have taken it to pieces & spit out the chips like melon seeds.
& if you were crew, you would not have even considered relevant.
SQ is all bottom line stuff, & it was inefficient, unproductive and broke.
The best part about the airline were the ground staff, the enginerring & the A320's. Even then they could have been fitted with bins to make them efficient.
No matter what way you want to look at it NZ was screwed.
When it dropped the bundle (AN) like a burnt cake & kicked out of the way who suffered most ? - the greedy ones at the top of the food chain.
We all know who put AN in that position - don't we?
