Pontous, would you please stop calling the actions of one man, Selwyn Cushing, the actions of an entire airline. So you want money do you, well sorry, but if it hasn't turned up now it's never going to.
Me, I would like to see all my mates who were working for the Qantas NZ feeder get flying jobs again. They had no say in what union action NZ ALPA and the mainline Qantas pilots did and for many when it folded ended up back in GA or doing crap short term contracts elsewhere.
Qantas could have easily stepped in for little capital outlay but elected to sh*t on a lot of people instead.
Air NZ ain't much but Qantas doesn't appear much better.
