Some amazing things have happened in the last few days regarding this sale of KN/ZL. One things for certain is that some heads are going to roll amoungst the ranks in management positions, especially at Hazo's due to the fact that a rouge faction has tried to go behind the administrators back and purchase four Saabs ( my guess to operate them with Horizon, under instruction from QF- lets mess this deal up ). All stations are go with this deal, aircraft are being painted, and mature schedules tabled.
Its also amazing that there are people in this industry that are willing to see a company collaspe for their own personal gain at the expense of hundreds of jobs in an industry thats not huge on employment at the moment and for that matter has never really been anyway. This new airline has grand plans ( and for that matter foreign investors) with supposed connections to the SQ.
Funny that an SQ consortium would be starting in the not too distant future.
There is talk of a Brisbain base, and what an opportunity for an airline to opporate in a state so large that does'nt have any competition, ( QF link pick up your customer service, the pax are not happy ). And finally, remember SQ has a share in Virgin Atlantic and who owns
VB (surprise, surprise), so the ties are alot closer than one thinks. People say aviation is a hard industry to predict, its not that hard because there is only so many ways one can re-invent the wheel.
