New A$250m Airline Venture
I was going to nip over from Blighty and invest some of my hard earned cash in a new airline. Had a chat with Sir Dickie who said to beware "they don't like foreigners sticking their nose into their perfect aviation industry" and "have a look at pprune to see their attitude".
Well I am shocked your second biggest airline in administration and your largest with heavy UK ownership. must be a place for me here!!!!
Alas pprune has showed you don't want jobs with new starters you would (mostly) like to live in bygone days working for a complete shambles of a company which was raped by foreign owners (luckily not Brits).
I will keep my money and jusy hope that my friend Dickie is lucky enough to survive the backstabbing from the AN lovers out there.
Best luck to all down in our colony
Raffles
PS
I did like the thread about DJ being parasites! What a mature, dignified approach this chap has. I do hope he is not a true reflection of the typical Australian Aviator

Wind up ALERT! Wind up ALERT! Wind up ALERT!
Prepare to repell Pommy borders!
I like your style Raffles. You stay over in Blighty and we'll all be bloody happy!
And go easy on the idiot pills!

Raffles dear boy, it would not be safe to assume that all of us colonial oiks are still just emerging from the trees.
The local Oz airline of which you make mention was once a giant oak and if I may mix some metaphors, tempered in the cauldron of Oz culture.
It was brought down by the greed of those who learnt their lessons in the Motherland and adjacent countries at the feet of the Trade Unions and other great dissemblers, duplicitors and opportunists that the Motherland seems to produce in abubdance.
Real ozzers are and rightly so, very suspicious of anyone from "there".
We were, after all, sailed down here in chains by your lot.
Tugs forelock and backs out of room.

Hail the wisdom of Gaunty!
Raffles, I suspect you are a bored Ozzie, rejected for Friday afternoon drinkies by those that know you better.
But in the event you are a genuine Pom you can contribute to Oz aviation. Stay right where you are Old Son. We have more than enought of your type Dunnunda, arriving as $10 tourists and swelling the ranks of the Oz Union movement!

Raffles - the second biggest airline here in Australia is Virgin Blue and it is NOT IN ADMINISTRATION ! and if you think 25% ownership of Qantas is "heavy UK ownership" then you have been hit with a bigger IDIOT STICK than I first suspected.

your humble Colonial.

22% now coz the poms are struggling looking after themselves!

My Colonial Chums, good to see that Ozzie humour still alive (unlike your aviation industry)!
Torres I think you will find that in order to make lots of money I ensure all my ventures have a non-union work force, so I won't be joining that union movement you mention. I would however love one of those $10 tickets (only in first class though)
Gaunty, could you please explain why you are suspicious of anyone willing to invest large sums of cash into what can only be considered a cross between the USA and UK (using only the bad bits of either)?
Also out of interest what is a "real ozzer", my understanding of that would be our Aboriginal types. Might I suggest that you are of English decent and ventured to Australia from choice and now get great pleasure from doing what I admit Brits do best COMPLAINING.
Whiskery thanks for sorting that out, by your own admission AN now no longer exists!!!
So can I assume that I will now not be invited for drinkies down in Australia next time I visit!!! Shame as I like that cheap wine you produce (gets the oil stains off the drive if the Bentley has a little dribble)

Many, many apologies gentlemen, I now realise that was unfair. Having partaken of a drop of Jacobs Creek Chardonnay Pinot Noir last night, I feel I was rather hasty. I also like a drop of your beer occasionally (VB being a particular favourite)

Raffles,
attacking our grog.Australia is the no 1 exporter of wine into the UK.Most fat,poor pommie bast%rds like you drink Jacobs Creek but some in the refined classes drink better.
Lizzy likes Penfolds 389 & her mum,well,whatever she can get her hands on.
For the past two years "UK best wine in the world" one by OZ wine,Evans & Tate and Brokenwood.
I do fear,having been educated at the same school as Charlie,your drivel indicates you are not of the refined class.

Jeeezuuuus Raffles....Right up 'till your last post, you were fairdinkum cruising for a bruising.....I mean, to take the p!ss outa the aviation industry is one thing, as we all know that Pomes are not exactly blessed with a lot of smarts, but to belittle the p!ss....now that young fella, is paramount to a hanging offence.
Get a real drop and try a Rosemount or any of Wolf Blasses offerings

nasa old bean, I will take your advice and try a drop (or two).
It has provided us in Blighty and hopefully some of you gents in Australia many a laugh watching this thread. It should be obvious to all that it was intended purely as a wind-up, some people however should have a large key inserted anally as they are SO easy to wind up
Good luck to you all, in this the most trying times for aviation employee's (this even extends to Bulldog & Tool Time Two, who must remove their keys before sitting down).

Here, try some of this Penfolds, and wash that nasty Wolf Blass stuff outa yer mouth.
At least that is ONE THING we can do better here than they can..... that country of nasty warm, flat beer.
