    Hosings is on a parr with whale oil imo.

    Interesting and ironical that Johnkey was also supportive of the regions getting better pricing and service"key talked about monopoly type positions and the need to deliver fair pricing to the regions"

    "And in 2015 key was shoulder to shoulder with qantas group top brass at the launch of Jetstar regional services and he said kiwis in the regions would be cheering wildly" BOP times today.

    Shane jones is getting a lot of support coming in from the regions and their mayors.

    This is a political win for Shane Jones..he looks like a champion for the regions..the details/follow up do not matter. The timing of this is interesting as talk back starts to harp on that AIR cannot afford regional services however its claimed finds 1.5 million to bring Mr O here...the optics on this are bad.

    All up.... what do you think as shareholders we are paying for me to have dinner and hear from Mr O tonight i.e per head.

    Well I hope the regional thug is seated down the back by the toilets and listens intently to Obama's musings about leadership as he could certainly do with a few pointers !
    He deserves to be stripped of his regional portfolio is he keeps up his unwarranted bully boy campaign.

    All I can say is I hope you're doing the decent thing and flying AIR to get up here.

    The whole thing is just a symptom of an inept Govt when it comes to understanding and promoting business in NZ, no wonder business confidence is in the doldrums.

    Chris Luxon outlined the other day the substantial increase in regional flights AIR had undertaken. It was about 5% from memory and regional airfares have come down about 8%, again from memory. Your post is completely at odds with the facts and is motivated by self interest. Of course you'd like to see flights from Mt Manganui to anywhere in N.Z. at dirt cheap prices but the commercial reality is that if this route was so profitable Jetstar would already be flying on it.

    Completely agree Couta1. This coalition experiment that passes for an excuse of a Government is already starting to look like a dog's breakfast gone off.
