Most AIR staff are really p*** off at Sharsies for buying their "free" shares near the peak, at more than $1.70 last year. Staff that took the cash option made a far better decision IMO. :D

Yeah surely there could be some legal recourse when things go pear shaped for the 'sharsies customers'?! There must be some guidelines that are being overlooked, mismanagement, non disclosure or something. Cant believe people are still foolishly buying in at todays SP, like lambs to the slaughter house. Makes zero sense. Undoubtedly still a large drop in SP on it's way still post Cap Raise.
Had a very brief look through the "refueling" marketing document on the weekend. I say very brief because I have little taste for seeing people shorn like sheep with no chance of growing back their coat before winter. The extent, type and level of various disclaimers is something that I have never seen the likes of before and breaks new ground for a capital raise on the NZX in my opinion. You can't even download the offer document unless you certify you're a resident in N.Z. or Australia and insert your address and postcode into their system.
I think the Govt should just be more honest about it, set up a charitable trust and ask for donations and make those donations tax deducible.
I would imagine Sharsies have covered their backside in a similar way with more disclaimers than I've had hot dinners this month.
Greg just invited me on board flight NZ0 .... cool eh
Didn't like the bit about not putting so much in ones luggage though
What about if they suggested we lose weight to create less carbon emissions lol
[Hmmm, you can save 100% of carbon by not choosing to make discretionary plane trips at all !Quote:
We've embarked on our most important journey yet – Flight NZ0™. And it’s not to New York, or Tokyo, or anywhere else you can find on a map.
It’s a journey to a new era of air travel. One that actively reduces the carbon we emit, until we reach our goal of net zero carbon emissions by 2050. And the time is now. Because aviation emits carbon at a rate that is too high and has for too long. And it’s up to us to embark on our biggest mission ever to change that.Flight NZ0™ is not just a name, it's a commitment that we will find a more sustainable way to connect with the world. It’s a commitment to our future passengers that they will experience the world we all know and love. And it’s a commitment to do whatever we can to reach our goal of net zero carbon emissions by 2050.
We know it won’t be easy, and it can’t be solved overnight. It will take a combination of sustainable aviation fuel (SAF), zero emissions aircraft technology, continued fleet renewal and ensuring our ground and flight operations are as efficient as possible. And for any remaining emissions, we will utilise credible carbon removal solutions.It will take partnerships, like the ones we have in place with Airbus, to explore the future of green hydrogen powered aircraft in New Zealand. And with the Ministry of Business, Innovation and Employment to understand how SAF could be produced in New Zealand.And it will take methods that don’t exist yet, but when they do, we will be ready.

Travel light! The heavier your luggage, the more fuel is required to get you to your destination. By leaving a few things at home, you’ll be helping us fly lighter, and reduce our carbon emissions.
Offset your flight. FlyNeutral lets you offset your share of a flight's carbon emissions with carbon credits from international projects, while accelerating biodiversity and climate outcomes in New Zealand.

Do they still own the forests they bought?
Yes. If they were really serious they would set a combined weight allowance including the traveler. I would be up for jumping on the scales along with my luggage, you can imagine many would not be so keen. Imagine the furore if they so much as suggested that.
All the airlines trade in the magician's trick of distraction to assuage the guilt of the air traveler whilst keeping them an air traveler. Dont feel bad, we'll plant a tree for you. We already cancelled the daily papers in the Koru lounge, that should help a bit! Our new planes will use less fuel!
The uncomfortable truth is that we would probably have to go back to living consuming like in the 1950s to actually reduce emissions significantly, but who wants to talk about that...
Meanwhile, for the rest of us that actually live in the real World. I am at Ezeiza airport in Buenos Aires boarding a flight via Sao Paulo to Heathrow. Flights are full.
A friend is at Heathrow going the other way, same. Chocka.
I have friends travelling all over Europe. Flights are basically all full.
Meanwhile we are fed an utter load of rubbish and scaremongering in the NZ media. Wake up NZ.
Too true. None of the airlines want to be seen as environmental laggards in the middle of a "crisis", it is no wonder they are all working so hard to not be seen as massive polluters, but as part of the ... er ... solution. And just how far will the climate change evangelists push in this area? We had carless days in the past, why not flyless years? Or carbon emission limits per person. I say that tongue in cheek, but ideas can take a life of their own.
Air NZ will be wanting some positive PR. On the magic theme there is something mysterious keeping their SP where it is, and the more positive the sentiment the better to their SP afloat for a bit longer. Goodness knows it is not a level-headed evaluation of their business prospects!
