AIR - Air NZ.

[Sideshow Bob]

About to book very expensive flights to Nelson through air NZ, not put off by Coronavirus at all. Wouldn’t fly to Asia though.

Long haul will a hit, but still keep milking those domestic routes as much as they can...….

I'm currently sitting on an AirNZ flight from S Korea to Auckland. It looks about 75% full. I wouldn't know wether that is normal or not.

Also I've been watching the very long movie "Time to destination".
it is very uninteresting ........I do not recommend it.

Safe journey, my doctor recommended to take 1 Aspirin tab the day before and 2 days after arriving and wear compression knee socks during flight.

Doctors recommendation always important.

Lightened the load a little bit. Can't help but think that this will affect AIR. SA reducing services ... https://www.singaporeair.com/saar5/p...htcapacity.pdf

Had plans for a personal trip to Asia mid this year, have shelved it for now ... expect many to be doing the same. Even at work, most reducing trans-tasman travel if they can avoid it.

Just the beginning of widespread flight cancellations worldwide by almost all airlines, in my opinion.
Of course AIR's unionised workers will still be expecting their usual last year + 2-3% annual increase.

Beagle - you really do enjoy kicking unions and unionised workers yet I am pretty sure you would have no objection to Employer Unions -also known more commonly as the likes of Federated Farmers, Chambers of Commerce, Employers and Manufacturers Association etc etc etc.

I am not anti these groups at all - but to call a spade a spade they are essentially or in part lobby groups - employer or industry unions if you like.

They act as a union would - lobby for the best outcomes of their members. Yet there is no outcry when in the past they have lobbied for tariffs on imports to protect their profits - oops I meant industry - all the while happy for Joe public to pay the inflated prices they charged.

So why is it that workers union bad employer union good?

Anyway for what it is worth Beagle in tough times in years and decades gone by Air NZ worker unions have FORGONE wages rises for the sake of all in the company -on more than one occasion. How about laying off the workers who keep Air NZ going eh? Maybe your wrath can be turned on the HQ fat cats starting with the abruptly departed smooth talking Low Wage Luxon.

Thanks. I am expecting AIR to downgrade (the first of several downgrades) FY20 guidance when they report on 27 February.
I assume anyone still on board this one has a very strong stomach and their seat belt firmly tightened because they are in for some extreme turbulence directly ahead.
