    Talking of crashes somebody has produced this chart

    Boeing’s 737 Max 8 has had more fatalities in its first years in service than other new aircraft model since 1966. (The other planes depicted were the other most dangerous.) @Morning_Joe

    Apparently the 747 number is high because 2 of them collided on the Canary Islands. Also somebody noted the three 727s fell out of the sky before they realised they had to be landed on full throttle but that was launched pre 1966 and not shown

    Whatever relative to the zillions of passengers not many killed

    What will come to you will come so don’t worry.

    I remember flying in those DC10s I think they were - the ones with an engine on the tail - when they were falling out of the sky and there were so many people who changed their flights it made flying comfortable ....one flight HKY/AKL was so empty one had a choice of which row of seats to lie on and sleep.

    Sorry, I wasn't aware of that when I posted.

    I feel profoundly sorry for all the victims and their relatives and friends and my thoughts and prayers go out to them. Such heinous acts of violence are to the best of my knowledge unprecedented in N.Z. in recent times. I am sure the whole country is in shock and disbelief.

    Shame on Luxon and his team at AIR. Good on Robertson for calling them and giving them a talking to. What a ridiculous lapse of their senses https://www.nzherald.co.nz/nz/news/a...ectid=12213438

    Love Robertson quote “"Their call, and the right one." .....yeah right

    Bit different from an earlier communication

    @FlyAirNZ
    We're saddened by the tragic events that has occurred and are trying to help those with travel over the weekend and those that are directly affected. Although we've been putting on additional capacity we have very little availability which is why the fares have increased. ^NA



    That ^NA no doubt just doing his job ....failed leadership

    Beagle and others should send Chris a blast with their outrage. Uber-esque pricing strategies do not apply to our ‘national carrier’

    Software system designed to maximise revenue needed to be overridden in these unprecedented circumstances and has been. Compassionate fares are there but not everyone knows about them. AIR could have done a better job communicating the compassionate fares available in these extraordinary circumstances.
    Not making excuses for them but they probably wouldn't have been aware that demand would rise off the charts and this happened mostly on the weekend.
