    If you want to see what John Key did in the 80s, this is worth a watch, for nostalgia value, if nothing else.

    He did both. He was a dealer at Elders Merchant Finance in Wellington (the video is of that trading desk), then Bankers Trust in Auckland before moving overseas to run the ML trading team in Singapore and eventually NEWYAK. There is no question he is a business head of the highest calibre, and had an extraordinarily good nose for working out how the FX market was positioned, and acting accordingly. It was a very tough business in the 80's

    wonder if AIR will achieve the levels of growth of that QAN expect in H1

    QAN revenue growth >5% whereas it appears as if AIR is <5%

    QAN has had a HUGE run. Forecast profit at the mid point of the range is only 8% up on the first half last year. The senior team at AIR are pretty confident of an improvement on 2017 too.

    Oil creeping up and $Kiwi going down means the cost of flying must increase or airline profitability will decrease.
