Merged:Absolutely Ansett Again??? More Info Please!
Was reading on the web that Ansett Industries (not Ansett Australia) have lodged a takeover bid for Skywest Airlines. Anyone heard anything about this?

Now, on these forums, we often wonder where the funding is coming from for other ventures. For some reason, I felt it was weird to see them being totally upfront on the Home page of their website!
Almost like; "We know what you're thinking, so here's where the moneys coming from" like it's any of our business....

This company appear to be a strange organisation. If memory serves I thought I read something many months ago about them starting an F50 operation in Queensland.
Some have made comment about the air stair being from a Metro (which it certainly look like) and the old style F/A uniform. I realise they are trying to retain a nostalgic image, however the web site looks cobbled together without a lot of professionalism exhibited
.
Does anyone know who the people behind this company are?

Buster, I found it odd how they listed the bigger more impressive companys like Rex and ****** (and at an assumption Skywest and not Skippers), whilst the smaller Airlines are called just that. Unless of course a 'Local NQ Airline' is a real company name.

Terry Byrt has a bit of a history of saying he is going to resurrect Ansett in some way. The original press release from months ago said he planned a new Ansett in Queensland operating a fleet of 
F27s!!!
He is just a pie in the sky dreamer who likes seeing his name in the paper.

I have been researching a few things on the web & stumbled across this website: www.ansettregionalairlines.com
I am ex Ansett staff (reservations) & I am perplexed as to why someone would try & cash in on the name. Most probably this venture will fail, however I would be interested in hearing what news there is out there about this?

Sorry, maybe this will shed more light on the subject, I got to the above website via this website: www.ansettindustries.com It seems they have big plans to buy up REX, SkyWest, MACCAIR & a few other charters to make a new Ansett.
Who is behind this crazy scheme?
Who is behind this crazy scheme?
Some guy in Queensland. His original idea was to use 50 year old F27s to revive the glory days of Ansett. Now he "plans" to buy up all these regionals.
Now what could possibly be missing from this brillient stragegy?
oh yes
MONEY!!

Ansett, as a brand name, still carries value. Regardless of what they think they can do, using the name will ensure some attention & as mentioned above, investment.
Look at Compass II. Same deal, use an established brand & watch the unsuspecting roll in...
