AIR - Air NZ.

All good mate, worth reading twice anyway. Air seem to be starting to feel the "squeeze" from those faulty compressor blades...you see what I did there
Raz doesn't like the big squeeze at AIR's Auckland and some other customer lounges...what's next, wheels starting to fall off lol

I don't like the fact the say they're reducing schedule to BA. It may force our company to look at LATAM again with their more frequent schedule via Santiago.
The email certainly indicates serious problems being experienced due these faulty engines and Benny's post indicating the new TEN engines may be experiencing the same issues is alarming to say the least.

I thought those ten engines are supposed to have the all new compressor blade sections that are supposed to fix the problem, the same parts that are being retrofitted to earlier iterations of those engines right ? Looks like Winner could be bang on the money and those engines are simply a lemon.

Here's another look, (you'll need your sick bag because RR go on and on and on and on about their precision engineering and superb quality control) at the Rolls Royce advertising campaign, masquerading as a BBC program, about them building the Trent 1000.
Has this video come back to haunt them or what ! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VfomloUg2Gw

Good planes and good service. No complaints.

Not all AIR Airpoints Customers (even some of those high up in the pecking order) got this email. Chatter is this is as weird as the email itself.

I feel left out, especially since the beagle who flys Jetstar got one

Chris has lost his vigour, his halo has lost its glow. He comes across pretty disinterested in AIR these days

He’ll be gone within the year. If he doesn’t get or turns down the Fonterra job he could end up standing in a conveniently instituted by election in a safe National seat with the promise of becoming the National Leader and next Prime Minister. (John’s told him it’s a pretty good career move)

Chris for new National party leader or the new CEO of A2 milk.

Flew LATAM AKL to SYD, food and service was woeful, but for a 3.5hr flight who really cares, plus it was cheap, was an older 787-8

Maximum age would only be 6 years at the most. AirNZ oldest are already 4 years old. Would say it looked old to you due to lack of attention by the airline.

Have flown those LATAM planes a lot long haul. Have always been tidy and in good condition as far as I'm concerned.
