I saw it parked out at the end of 05l a couple of days ago. It looks real good. For all those that sit there and bitch about old airframes and trying to stay in business, air nz is at least doing something proactive and if the company that you are working for is not then you may find that you will/ may loose your jobs quicker than any crew at air nz.
If you have nothing to say the F#$k off.

ANZ needs more than winglets on clapped out bangers to save its bacon...
They could follow the Aussie example of adding a flight engineer.

It happens to be the one thing in my life that I will never forget or forgive and why the hell should I forget it....
If all I got to do on an aircraft was hand out beef or chicken I'd probably be a little disgruntled too..

Tell your mum to stop calling me as well, she's starting to p1ss me off.

Anyone getting the unremitting stench of collusion????

I reckon the blame you want to lay about belongs a little closer to home N-BW. The sooner you wake up to the facts, the sooner you'll be able to fill that great aching void in your life with something a little more meaningful.

Like a life.

Get over it.

N-BW,

Never worked for Ansett, (I've been with the red team for my whole career) however I share your sentiment towards those to the east.

Typical racist remarks of the inbred uneducated redneck middle class. Stick to the galley for your trash talk. We've had enough of your ill informed, smart ass hyperbole and the general nastiness of you and your posts.

By the way, NBW, that is the rego of one of Air NZ's 74s.

Don't forget that other one on QF Second Officer redundancies too!

Don't worry some of the people on here will blame in the incompetence of QF management on Air New Zealand as well. I guess its easier to point the finger at someone doing a better job.

Knowing there are muppets like you out there who are allowed to breed makes us all less fortunate people.

air nz

the sooner air new zealand is squeezed out of business the better.They are a nasty little carrier with even nastier tactics.Lets all hope that the tax payer in nz does not have to bail them out again!!That company should have been dead in the water years ago.I really wonder who the f### they think they are.

If AirNZ get up your nose then that is great enalkay. Any thing that pi**es people off like you makes my day. Dirty tactics, where?

N-LK sounds a bit like N-BW. Are you not the same person? Your sad approach to things are the same. You just rave on with no basis to your rants other than taking an anti Kiwi attitude.

Certain lack of any sort of professionalism by you. You also let your fellow countrymen down.

I think the fact that the whole Air NZ top management team from the Ansett debarcle have long gone (Brierleys, who the hell are they?) means all you upset Aussies are now venting at the past Air NZ, not the current Air NZ.
Hey, it happened, and now those responsible have moved on. The fact that you still hate the Air NZ brand is unfortunate, but they can probably survive ok without your support.
My diagnosis of your problem is that you can't get over it because you actually have no one left to blame....
We all know Ansett was a basket case. With or without Air NZ putting their oar in, the result would probably have been the same, just drawn out for longer. Air NZ probably did you a favour...you said yourself, life is good and you have done things you wanted to do. Be grateful and get over it!!

Its good to see that some people can see through the flying rats treachery with the engineering of "that fax" which ended up consigning Ansett to the deep.
I am currently working for one of the senior mis-managers that presided over the final days of Ansett .. and he is doing a fair job of his present company too..
as a side, I remember almost having a stand up fight with a LAME back in 1997, I was standing at the Ansett hangar in MEL, they had just cleared the area for a 767-200 to be pulled in for work.. my words were to the effect "god .. that's one sheet aircraft".. the guy nearly decked me there and then.. at least I know who was proved right..
the equipment NZ inherited was absolutely falling apart on the day of takeover.. all that talk of "removed" parts were probably NZ stock back in 1998-1999 anyway.(I cant prove anything)
as for the OP.. the winglets probably won't pay for themselves, but the lines are good and the eco spin is right..
choice cuzzie TEAL..!!

Maybe so, but Airscab already owned half of it anyway. Surely if it was as bad as what you New Zulanders claim then you should have had strict words to Airscab management at why they made such a poor decision to buy it when they plainly could not afford too.

If only Singapore got hold of it, you'd see Ansett 777's flying the pacific in droves.

Yep, probably, and all the dead wood would have been chopped and you guys would have been made redundant and now you'd all be bitching about how the new Singaporean masters couldn't run a piss-up in a brewery.
It was a cot case and bound for the sh#%%er regardless of who was running it. The disgrace was that certain Air NZ/Brierley types couldn't see beyond their own egos and recognise that. I still reckon they did you all a favour.....
