    $2,000 airpoint dollars can go along way on a new BBQ, stuff for the garden and general other sh1t that you don't really need but think you do!

    Not much of a bailout.

    We are preventing you from carrying out your flights, but we will lend you some money.
    Big chunk of that should have been given, not loaned.

    The reality is there is basically nowhere they can fly to anyway , so even without our border clampdown this would have happened anyway ....

    Thinking about buying but as a matter of etiquette is it frowned upon to bring your own popcorn to a shareholders meeting? I do love a bit of conflict.

    And why would shareholders complain?

    All airlines around the world require some sort of bailout.

    $12.1b support package ( including gifts and grants of $600m for the rest of the tourism sector), for the economy including grants left right and centre but lets just let minority shareholders suck up all the collateral damage from our decision to close the border, (including no dividend), and nationalise the airline in due course.

    The Govt giveth with one hand and taketh with the other...been happening since Adam was a boy...

    Between the Govt and management gorging themselves at the trough minority shareholders are on hiding to nothing. Better to scramble for the emergency exit and realise you can't win in a game where the odds are so heavily stacked against you ! No dividends for many years....

    Fair call OT. Although even then it was already $1.95, and was only going to go one-way. Holders here should have been saved by the Beagle and his barking.

    Hope they have withdrawn their valuation.
