CI300,if I mistook you for a kiwi then my apologies but to be honest as one contributor correctly pointed out your posting did sound a bit "choice bro" to say the least.
My apologies once again.
My mates in NZ are there because they are kiwis working for Air NZ and we flew for an airline overseas many years back.
To the punters speculating about Singapore possibly buying into Air NZ then forget it.
They have lost very serious face over this one and got a bloody nose to boot.
Having SQ members acting as board members on an airline that had to be bailed out by the NZ government after pending bankruptcy put even more egg on there faces.
A major embarrassment coupled with serious money lost which they will not repeat.
Have to agree that a go at QF may be a definite possibility.
