    Contact the share registry in the first instance.

    No, not part of the VP10 program.

    The Emirates lounge at Auckland airport is a dream, quiet, comfortable and the food is is delicious. There is also a certain "other" credit card that includes international lounge access across the world..so there are alternatives.

    I wonder if he will bring the Walmart motto to AIR:

    Greg took up his current role in 2014 and led a transformation of the
    business based around Walmart's principles of Every Day Low Costs and Every
    Day Low Price.

    On the face of it, I think it looks like a great hire - albeit new to the industry.

    He's earning $11.5M at Walmart, I wonder what Air NZ had to cough up to get him.

    Saw a long TV interview with him some time ago about his time at Walmart. Came across as a smart down to earth guy who obviously was held in high regard by his staff. His results at Walmart speak for themselves. Looks like a great hire for AIR even though he obviously lacks industry experience. But that is nothing new in this industry. I wish him well

    Looks like a good hire. I have felt for quite some time that AIR need to focus on tighter cost control and given his background I think he'll be the man for the job.
