Whilst ever Americans make aircraft out of 'aluminum' and paint them in pretty 'colors', we'll be speaking English and not that awful American dialect.
'Dunnunda', old son, should not need explaination. Depart out of LAX 24L, don't make too many big turns, and you'll get there about 14 hours 40 mins later...

Why are they buying -300s from BA? They very recently owned an airline that had 24 of them, several of which are VERY available, and the purchase of which would put a few reddies the way of the people they SHAFTED!!!

Speaking of disguises, I did see one of the old Ansett 733's at Stansted on 7 Sep. Looked pretty lonely sitting over on the eastern hard stand all by itself painted up in Channel Express colours.

Gee Wizofoz, maybe they're buying ex BA 733s because the AN ones were poorly maintained in Australia? Of course this is just a speculative theory, probably as valid as the grand conspiracy theory about Air NZ deliberately buying AN just to shaft all those hard working Australians.
You know the old saying, "If you can't beat 'em on the sports field, buy one of their companies, pour in a billion dollars or so to the Australian economy, close down your much vaunted Austalian airline, nearly bankrupt yourself and get bailed out by your government" yep, I think that's the way it goes.
As far as the accents go, what was last weeks score, "Suxteen, tun" or "seexteen, teen"? Of course if we lose the NRL finals, we'll then have to buy another under-achieving Australian company, pour in billions etc etc
And to think it all began because someone asked about a 737 in London....
ps: BIK_116.8 I hope your post about the Air NZ flight planning dept entering incorrect co-ordinates into the database isn't refering to the Mt Erebus crash that killed 257. If it is, nice one mate, lots of class.

yes, very well done, am glad to see someone knows the facts, the -300 in question is not being bought but in fact leased from GECAS!
amazing how a simple aircraft query can turn into an airnz insult session, you aussie's should really stop your bleating about ansett. get over it.
as for you ttesna, you are a bloody idiot!!!

GoEasy - sounds fun if you like that kind of thing - hope your friend has a good flight!
Can I ask a daft question (as a non-aviator) - why the westbound routing? Wouldn't eastbound be slightly shorter, with the prevailing winds and avoid the lengthy oceanic crossings?
