Us TAA blokes felt the same as we watched as Strong totally dismantled our much loved airline. It felt like somebody kicked you in the guts. Now after reading the Australian only 10 minutes ago, I have a terrible feeling some of the QF blokes are about to get the same sinking feeling. 1000 staff members on very shaky ground indeed, as Joyce takes QF to Asia.

Romulus-- Nothing flash Subaru Liberty RX wagon (every option..). I still have it, 230,000km and it runs like a clock. Best car ever...
Best offer was $22,000 for an 8 month old car (list price was nearly $50k).

Deposit made into my account this afternoon.
Thanks Korda/Mentha.....you guys did well (to the tune of many, many millions).
Thanks also to the Minister for Qantas (John Anderson), Air NZ, former PM John Howard, and the fantastic management of Ansett who made it all possible.
It was a wild ride.

As I have been "paid" for the last 9 years & 355 days by Ansett, I can now say that after 27 & a half years, I have officially left the aviation business with this final payment. 
I'm so glad to have been a part of the Korda/Mentha money making machine, and I wish those guys all the very best as they suck the life out of the next carcass they prey upon!

With today's final dividend of $5.3 million, they had received on average 96 cents in the dollar, administrators KordaMentha said.

Really glad to hear you finally got most of what was owed to you guys.
Still a damn shame, the time it took and the fact that Ansett folded in the first place.
At least you had people behind the scenes working on this a decade on.
