What's Aussie rules? I could hazard a guess but then..................

Must be some quaint Australian tradition

How do you get a Kiwi into small business ?

- Give him a big one and wait 6 months.

I refer you to New Zealand Australian Football League > Home. Otherwise a google search for AFL in New Zealand should do the trick. BB

The Air NZ CEO was on National Radio yesterday and stated that he can't see a merger happening - certainly not on the cards now , probably never.

Air NZ has already had a nasty experience with one "basket case" Australian airline (and lost big) Doubt they would want a repeat performance with Qantas... which seems to be heading down the same road as ANSETT.... this time the Ozzies will have no one to blame but themselves.

Will be interesting to see how the A380 intro goes in the current market...?

I thought GD was refer to what may happen in the future....not that he was taking a skiing holiday in NZ and might take the check book with him!

Besides with QF and NZ it wouldnt really be a straight merger...QF would simply by NZ and operate as a subsid like JQ (expect full service)...

Slamer....thats a bit harsh...how is QF currently looking like AN? QF hasnt had years of loss making to date...like AN had when NZ paid twice its value just to stop SQ getting into it...

Apples to Apples in any merger...ANZ & Jetstar Pacific might be a goer...

[slamer.]

or.... opposites attract.

TMAK... maybe , but see other posts re QF doing the rounds at the moment
