Mr 'Roota-I thought about it for a nano second and I still consider AirNZ management to be incompetent. By their own admission they spent $600 million buying a company where they didn't even check the books! Then they left the whole shebang rudderless without a CEO during a time of intense competition and rising fuel prices. Their recent profit comes on the back of an $850 million bailout by the NZ government. A recent report to the NZ government stated that AirNZ has the worst inflight service of any airline flying in the Pacific area. Don't hold your breath waiting for AirNZ and Virgin to grind Qantas into the ground - it's just not going to happen.
