    Dropping the filghts to Blighty was the right thing to do. It was a presteige rather than profitable part of the route network a long way from base, so operationally difficult. The sale of the LHR slot raised some valuable cash.

    LAX --> LHR is a heavily tracked route. Robertson Airlines could easily ship any Bro's who wanted to loyally fly on the National Magic Waka code share LAX --> LHR.

    “Quickest” way to get to South America. Or at least it was before yday. Now one has to fly to Oz for a test & results within the required timeframe. Nuts

    The only thing interesting when they just convert cash to equity would be the conversion rate ... which would allow the majority shareholder to inflict terrible dilution onto the retail shareholders without any cost to them and no chance for the retail shareholders to do anything about it..

    Might be better for PR to do some sort of controlled CR ... to at least pretend it is a fair and equal "at arms length" process.

    Yet another nail in the coffin for NZ Inc
    NZ's covid tasting regime is lamentable. NZ has had the time to prepare, but it was wasted. Although not perfect of course but it is a help, where is Lateral flow (Rapid Antigen) testing?

    I think he's referring to the type of phrases the investment bankers will use.

    And yet the SP is still finding support at 1.5 level even amongst all this.

    At least they have planes... actual assets that can at some point make money again. But a lot of AIR performance was on LOW fuel prices.. Those days are long gone unless OPEC closes shop..

    It will be a different bird in the future too. I think customers are going to have to come to terms with a new reality of the real cost of flying as ther will be far fewer flights to amortize the extremely expensive head office costs across. Won't worry the Pollies on their taxpayer funded junkets and weekly commuter flights but the reaction from joe public to a very different level of air transport cost could be interesting. We used to have Shane Jones bleating like a stuck pig about $300-400 short haul domestic ticket prices but maybe that's the new normal going forward ?
