QF to buy a 25% stake in Air NZ

(sorry NZOOM won't cut and paste easily!)
What will this do to a) the STAR alliance and b) One World???[

I find it ironic that an Australian company is going to save a NZ one from certain oblivion when the Sheepshaggers didn't lift a finger in the Ansett debacle. It speaks volumes about the quality and integrity of the two different nationalities.

Sorry, could you expand on that a little? There are 3 million of us over here, were you referring to all of us?
Second thoughts, go crawl back under your rock.

How does the QF announcement affect the NZ domestic seen?,are we going to see VB next and a price war.How will the likes of Freedomair stand, and will Jetconnect simply take all the low cost market share.
