they will nail you on the return leg though

Indeed and also expect the Australian Government and Sydney airport in particular to give you a "big kiss" as a thank you for coming over with their extraordinary departure and airport charges. Cunning marketing on AIR's part though isn't it because if they advertised the return fare price nobody would think there was a sale lol.
Tragic to see a Lion air plane crashed today, fairly new 737 with just 800 hours flown.

Good solid stat's and good yields. If it wasn't for the seriousness of the swiss cheese rolls royce fan blades I'd be a buyer at this price.
I still hold Air.
13.9% of my investments are in Energy - this includes a portion of my Genesis holding (one third of Genesis is strictly Energy and two thirds utility) and the rest mostly Australian oil producers.
10% of my investments are Industrial, which includes transportation, which includes Air.
So mostly I want oil prices to hit $140US a bbl. But if it gets back down to $30US a barrel? oh well.
Its possible the plane was flying without qualified pilots.
More and more cheaper Systems Operators are used, trained to "fly"automated systems, then when given a visual approach dont know what to do. No stick and rudder experience or skills. No experience re what to do in an emergency or when instruments are faulty.
Pretty outrageous statement - would you have any supporting evidence for your claim of Lion Air using unqualified pilots?
On facevalue it does not look like they hire unqualified pilots:

Lion Air Indonesia crash
Sounds like fact that there aren't fully qualified pilots on some planes, possibly low budget asian/ african airlines(that last part is conjecture)
I guess checking the facts might help. In this case we know the pilot was "properly" qualified:

Bel Air is a Californian pilot training facility - and Emirates (where he flew before) has top quality staff and an impeccable safety record. Actually - might be better than AIR's ...Quote:
he got his pilot training from Bel Air International and had earlier worked with Emirates and later joined the Indonesian carrier Lion Air.
Thanks.Just going on the facts i had. Sure is a mystery.
Scary to think there are some airlines that use systems operators though isn't it.
AIR hire pilots that have been trained the old fashioned way through flight schools using real aircraft...something useful to know when your worried about their skills landing at Wellington is a storm.
Oil price has dropped considerably and no surprise that the SP has started to recover. I'd like to buy but the aforementioned engine issue isn't anywhere near close to resolution.
Maybe turn your hearing aids up777. What is your definition of norm by the way(not norman:)
