Zig Zag,
your comments are baseless you are scared because a new player threatens your job.
If QF can fly full on mainline routes then there is people who can be poached , were not talking starting with 100 A/c and going head to head...
You have no idea boy..............

Hmm..just did a little digging of my own, and perhaps RMM could confirm as I believe he was, or still is, an Ansett LAME. (or even AN LAME)
I'm just sitting out here minding my own business while the rest of the world finds out what a snake in the grass this pr!ck is, and next thing I know I'm being accused of being him
... what IS the world coming to ?

AN LAME - no, no, no - I didn't mean to infer you were him. I was seeking your input as to who he was and that a certain party related to him was known to engineers in the Tulla base of Ansett - that this person therefore may be Legal Counsel. Unfortunately, Woomera had to edit my post and therefore the whole message lost context.
Sorry - it was a bad choice of grammar.

Of course things would start off small - I realise that. For even that to happen, however, PLENTY of people need to be convinced of it's viability. Obviously, not enough people are, as potential investors don't exactly appear to be falling over themselves to back the venture, do they?
You have no idea boy..............
Let's get one thing straight - I'm no G A basher. I would be happy for them to make a fist of it, and the first one to congratulate them. I'm quite happy to sit back and watch things transpire.
It's been almost 3 years now.........

Ahhh, T.A., you can't be serious, a 402 out of panawonica is better than EK!?, with the amount of expansion that is about to happen there with the type of equipment, EK will be a exciting place to be.
Anyway, you will probably get some "freshly fallen out of a tree snotty-nose" telling you that you had your go and this is their turf and stay out, 'cause in the next weeties packet they will get their licence and be destined for VB or Jet*.

A LAME starting an airline??????
I can think of one ex AN Avionics LAME currently at the SIT with big Q who will definitely not be getting onboard with RMA Gold due to the person involved. I remember meetings in CBR with CASA moderating about tech log entries, threats of legal action, libel. It was a great sideline show at the time. All Syd Ex AN LAMEs will fondly remember the rubbish entries that were deferred in a/c from ONS Mel. Opinion was divided as to whether it was a scam for overtime, the work ethic of a very fastidious LAME or it came from the pen of a very strange number.

Whats wrong with a LAME starting an airline, Reg Ansett was a taxi driver, Branson was a record retailer, Frank Lorenzo was a loser, East-West and Qantas was started by farmers, so tell me who is supposed to start airlines.

The fact is it takes at least $20 million to get started , i dont think any ex an employees have this sort of cash if they did they would retire.
Its obvious a large investor is needed , so if they get the cash its a has a very reasonable chance of going.
It will cost the same to run as VB if not less and produce a better product and the business class will kill OZjets ...........

What's unbelievable...what is wrong with placing an order for some A350's or 80's...they are just another aeroplane and maybe more efficient than the 330's or 777's...and how does anyone know its an order anyway...I think the ad says its for a Project Manager, maybe for number crunching or something...I certainly hope its an order, as that will cause a few earth quakes and unsettle a few protected species.

Seems this ex Ansett LAME who is dreaming of re-incarnating Ansett, is one of those sad old bastards, (no dis-respect meant to happy old bastards;-), who needs a hobby. Stamp collecting?
I remember during my short stint in Avalon, ovehearing some of the comments made by a few ex Ansett engineers who seemed to believe Ansett would be flying again. Very amusing. (This Busche guy was probably one of the ones I overheard. His name is vaguely familiar).
Having a website with an online booking form and listing destinations before you even have one single aircraft is sure sign of a nutter who is living out some wierd fantasy!
....seems he has a fettish for new gen Airbus aircraft too!

What is it that they say...he who laughs first....So this ex Ansett LAME is a sad old bustard...like me then I suppose...so unlike you he and I are not young enough to know everything...then we shall just see...what's there to lose...it might work out that he will have the last laugh after all....unless you have to much to lose........

Don't you think it's a little fanciful to put up the above website when you have no planes, no equipment, no base, and virtually no staff?
It's kind of like that PC game where you build a virtual city!
Fantasy.
(P.S. I work with ex Ansett guys who are old, but certainly not sad bastards! Even they have a chuckle at the likes of this Buche gentleman)

Is this person actually doing anyone any harm?
If he did manage get up and running, I imagine there might be a lot of those sad/happy old b's who would IMMEDIATELY be "great mates" with the one they're happy to pour scorn on right now.
But it's very Australian to knock the cr*pper out of anyone who might have even the remotest of chances of being successful, isn't it!
