Why Westbound??
Probably because Air NZ have fuel accounts in LAX, HNL, etc. and their crew (okay their 74 & 76 crews) have experience of flying these routings. Going east they'd have no access to established fuel accounts until SIN and they'd have to do the run around those places like Afghanistan, etc. that many commercial airlines do not fly over.

And apart from avoiding some of the more hostile and dodgy airspace it's pretty much the old six of one half a dozen of the other in distance.

The gravy stroke™
doesn’t have to be about 737s, innythung ken turn unto en airnz unsult sission. why just the other day I bah-bah-baaaaaaaahhhh-umped into some of the leds trying on their new velcro™ gloves down at baaaaaah-ondi beach.
WHY are these kiwis so uptight? ewe’re hangin on too tight, mev, turn in your wungs. I think its fairly obvious that he was NOT referring to ere-baaaaaaah-us
its not their fault, it was their unadorned, uncouth, unconscionable, uncoordinated, unconvincing, uncongenial, uncalled-for, unclean, badly-dressed and downright butt-ugly P/Munuster that messed with their heads baaaaaaah-ut the boys taught it a beg lisson with their tugs and trolleys lest year at milbourne. it’ll think twice before taking on the unions here again. and rightly so. especially now they don’t have an air force. we can dish out what we like and they have no choice (“CHOICE!!!”) baaaaaaah-ut to eat it.
since they erased one of our airlines I think it is only fair that we erase something of theirs. ummmmm…. how about that stupid “bird” they named after a piece of fruit? speaking of which I met a kiwi fruit the other day.
“thumply gooooor-jith, daaaaar-lung.” HAHAHAHAAAA ! ! ! ! ! funniest thing i ever heard.

It's not that we are uptight Gravy, it's just that we get sick of the same old sheep & accent jokes. If you are going to take the peeess, can you at least make an attempt at being original or is this asking too much?
It's all in the DNA mate, remember our ancestors "chose" to emigrate.
Oh, and as far as "erasing" one of your airlines, weren't you taught at school to erase any mistakes you made?

Pax Vobiscum -
have heard of ferries routing through the Gulf & various Indian Ocean islands, but given the current fun & games, North America is probably a little less fraught!!
CI300 -
one of the choisest phrases ever to come out of an investigation - 'I was subjected to an orchestrated litany of lies' - came out of the Erebus DC10 inquiry. Just hope the lessons were learnt. Pity the learned judge didn't last very long after that.
