The news this afternoon seems to indicate that Aunty Helen has stuck her
size 12 boots into this deal as well by refusing to let SIA take a
larger stake in AIRNZ down the road.

If this deal doesn't go through then the Koru is dog tucker.  The
company is going to be  cash stretched and competing with a solid and
financially sound Qantas and SIA/Virgin Australia (even though SIA is
getting into the Star alliance).

Rumours abound that Ansett NZ will be renamed Qantas NZ by the month end
- then watch their market share rise as they re-equip and string a
better feeder service onto the Tasman. All to the detriment of AIRNZ. 
Nice one Helen - by the way are you still waiting for the Kiwis abroad
to come flooding back - cause if they do it will be on planes sporting
the jumping white rat on their tails!
