Too late she cried. If you take a look inside the flight operations management at J* you will find that ansett already lives. A new empire has emerged.
According to inside sources, the recreation of that once great airline is well and truly underway. Minus the good T&C's for pilots of course. But don't let that spoil a great rise from the ashes.

That is the ride we all want TurbTool.
Do not get in the way of the stampede. Those in LCCs that loved their full service airline will be heading back to a full service carrier at mach 3, if it is shown to be viable.
I would love to end my working years with an airline to hang my hat on.
It leaves a void when you love the one you are with rather than being with the one you love. Hollow is not a good feeling, but many of the current generation would not understand that.
When your 7 year old son explains to a slightly paniced grandmother that the howling roar the 146-300 made on downwind was a harmonic created by the changing shape of the gap between the flap and the wing as they deployed you realise there is no hope for you or indeed him. Infected.
The look of amazement and the following smile on the little old lady's face was priceless as was the moment. An airline brat had an airline brat of his own doing. Two actually.
Are we having fun yet? Let's hope so.

Reckon you could pick that 146 up pretty cheap if you really wanted it!
Wouldn't mind seeing them flying in the Eastern States again, but didn't somebody already try that? A full service airline using clapped out buckets of crap.
Like EWL says though, I guess it's all about the marketing and thats where I think the other mob let themselves down....

Hmmm... Let's not go there.
As I recollect it, VH-RMA was a particularly fine 727 when she was silver, red and black. Those were the days. She was golden, philosophically speaking, but she was never gold.
Switching to nostalgia mode.

Sir Peter Abeles will be turning in his grave knowing that his pet A320 "Spaceships" are being castigated by PPruner's. (Complete with fake Burr Walnut first class bulkheads which were EXACTLY the same look as the dash of the mighty 1966 HR Holden Premier!!!!!! Although the "Nautical Ships Cabin Clock mounted on the bulkhead was a nice touch)...... OHHHH, to see SPA seated in his favourite seat 1B sipping a brandy & coke & eyeing off the First class Cabin crew!!!!!! MEMORIES !!!!!!!!!!!!!

Dodgy - the 743's were indeed introduced as Spaceships and the A320's as Skystars - hence the Deathstar tag that emerged after Air France frogged it completely at an airshow and Indian created aluminium confetti through ineptitude.
One of the most important days of my life was when I realised I had out lived Darth Abeles. Maybe "Deathstar" was a Freudian moment way ahead of its time. The escape pod did not work and the Bodgie couldn't legislate the inevitable away.
There is a window of opportunity for a new budget rather than LCC carrier to open with a full service product, and still sufficient edges to fly around, but that window is like the Genuine Persian rug outlet - closing soon and I doubt it will open again.
Pay attention "you know who" - I still haven't got that call!
