Hi, to what extent do you think the problem was
foreseen by Singapore Airlines before they became involved? I find it hard to
imagine that they were unaware of the extent of Ansett's woes, although they
could not have reasonably been expected to be aware of the grounding of
the 767s by the CAA. Is it possible they always intended to purchase the initial
tranch of 25% of the comapny, via the B shares, and then wait for the
inevitable to happen, ie Ansett to begin showing stresses and strains of an
older fleet and then go to the NZ govt and undertake to underwrite the necessary
capital raising in return for the govt to allow the stake to go to 49%.
Interested in your thoughts , or anybody elses.
