Nah think your source is wrong.... Rumor is Dash 8 Q300.... apparently came hand in hand with the Air New Zealand Boeing order. The official announcement is ment to be at the end of the month... well it was actually ment to be at the end of last month!! Have they decided on ground course dates yet?? Apparently they have a full course to get through... then anyone know when next interview calls will be?? I heard in October....

Boeing and Bombardier together in a joint order? Don't think so...

Except the stock exchange to be advised mid week ( Wed ) to halt share trading in ANZ with the announcement on either Friday or early the following week.

OK, announcement on Monday I hear, and a bit higher up in the food chain source says its the Dash 8 300, and they've just discovered they are going to be caught short for space in Auckland when they get parked up, due to the greater space required compared to the Saab. So guess Airwork might have the squeeze put on them around the corner there!!

Post Cue x-files music

Was at the BIG HQ today - don't ask - and spied for a nano-second in the office behind the office I was in - as one of the gentlemen in the meeting came from said office - a logo'd desk model of......the Dash 8!

It luckily wasn't spied that I'd spied it. Though I guess now the spies will prob now that I did spy it.

Was it just a pretty desk model for an exec, or a model future?
