AN posted a A$124 MIL PROFIT in 1999 just prior to NZs 100% takeover, 12 months later A$3 BILLION DEBT. Fact.
Topend3s comment about "ordinary performances" is interesting, considering he/she claims elsewhere to have been a 747-400 Capt with AN.
I doubt the truth in the claim as you come across like a mindless troglodyte and your's would have been the only ordinary performance (apart from 'Shave', 'Shifty' and 'Rippedmeat').
