I think ButFli was referring to the newspaper ad itself as 'trolling'. That, or it was a late April Fool's joke.

For many of its pilots, Ansett died in 'that year', asset-stripped, too many aircraft types, then shut down during an industrial dispute which was exacerbated and prolonged after intervention by a fool of a prime minister.

Brain-dead, it remained zombie-like for a bit over a decade until the putrid corpse was finally laid to rest, some of its remaining organs transplanted into the QANTAS Group.

A sad end for what should have been, if managed properly, Australia's premier airline and de facto flag carrier.
