I find the comments made by that blabber mouth, Mr. Godfrey so shallow...if he thinks that raising hope for exAN people is not fair..then whats fair about the NO HOPE exAN people have with Virgin...AN had very experienced staff with a great reputation...737 drivers with 1000's of hours experience, cant get a look in because of the "Home and Away" culture and prejudice with the infamous list...There is NO WAY Mr. Godfrey would want to see another Airline start here...especialy SQ behind it...the maintenece problems were brought upon by that country of pestulence accross the Tasman...When AirNZ took over it was like the "Black Plague" of 16th century London had descended on Ansett...but they called the shots and the purse strings....they just did nothing and the Ansett staff carried the airline under difficult circumstances despite Air NZ management's stupidity...I say bring on the new airline and get lots of that wnderful AN staff back...as they sure as hell paid their dues, that Virgin does not want to recognize................
