AIR - Air NZ.

[winner69]

I will temp fate here..never lost a bag...as an executive was flying international constantly for a F500, averaging 100 flights a year. As a consultant living here and traveling to the US/UK every two-three weeks..never. Think the international air bag system is one of the modern wonders of the world.

Where does this modern urban myth about top class management come from, airlines everywhere have never attracted the best and they constantly miss the 5% MI.
AIR are even used internationally as a case study by consultants as a good company thats misses the 5% MI! Wins some awards by NZ people that want to charm them and cross sell..yeah whatever.

I trade the share as currently the dividend is not adequate rate of return for this shares risk profile IMHO. In addition, what is a return with capital loss, time waits for no one.

Bit dozzy today - whats this MI you mention Raz

Their management approach will make clients seriously look at the competition, nickel and dime people long enough and you build resentment. Have heard a great deal about taking the key pref. seats in economy from international flights from koru members this year. Now you have to pay extra for key ones. There are so many examples if you travel on a regular basis. Sometimes they act like they are disney yet without the unique point of difference.

There are still preferred seats available at no extra cost (including bulkhead) to *G *GE and Koru members, but admittedly *some* seating options now attract an additional fee. Initially this was a very sore point amongst the FF community, however things have settled down. It's no different to what UA, AC, BA etc. have done.

Dont know about BA,but Air Canada and United are certainly not gold standard either,thats for sure(Air Canada doesnt even give you a snack on a 6.5hr flight) There are some however that earn the word premium. ..Thai-Singapore Air--even MAL with its mishaps has bigger seats and allows you to chose yourself ahead of time--That gets a big tick in my book

Wow - support just keeps getting smashed! This could get even uglier.......

I sold all my holding at $3.00 about 3 weeks ago and now I am back to AIR today.

Wish everyone and me good luck. May the force be with AIR.

Plenty of weak holders to shake out yet, good things take time aye, patience not panic required.

Good post mate, nothing much else needs to be said at present IMO.

Plenty of weak holders to shake out yet, good things take time aye, patience not panic required. PS-Mickey im down 11%on Air and 16% NZR so your not alone.

With all due respect, a little panic back at $2.70 would have been handy.
