The sad fact is that Ansett NEVER recovered from 1989!!!!!
All the employees were on borrowed time from then on. Anyone who didnt realise that was kidding themselves.
The smart people moved on , the remainder hung in hoping for a miracle that never happened.
Now we all know who caused the 1989 event dont we- none other than Mr Robert Hawke.
Maybe a class action against him might yeild a quicker monetary result to all debtors.......
