    Had a flight back from Nelson on Sunday, we had a planeload of happily hungover sporting types, the hostie was a champion though, a great sport. Big ups to her.

    Haven't held AIR for a long time (last sold out in 95), and I have no intention of buying back in, but i would have to say if anyone could turn it around, then Ralph Norris strikes me as the guy who can.

    Here's another cloud on the horizon. AIR are one of only 2 confirmed buyers for the new Boeing 7E7. Airbus has now announced it will produce a rival 250-seat twin-aisle widebody based on its existing A330. Boeing is doing its best to shoot it down. The question is, will AIR be left with a dud on its hands?
    I have a number of friends who are Air NZ pilots and they tell some horrific stories about "Scarebuses". Save to say that Boeing has always built aircraft that are designed by pilots, from a pilot's perspective. Airbus has built aircraft that are designed by engineers, from an engineer's perspective.

    As a simple example, to release the autopilot in a Boeing 747, the pilot hits a "kill" switch on the control yolk. To do the same thing in an Airbus 320 requires three separate hand movements with both hands.

    Personally, i wouldn't be too worried about the new Boeing aircraft.

    Currently have a deal for 1900 pounds rtn Business

    Read the appendix at the back of Buffettology. Airlines are listed as a commodity stock i.e. low or no barriers to entry, undifferentiated product, heavy price competition. Buffett avoids them like the plague.
    How many airlines have you seen hit the wall in the US and around the world?
    Air NZ will be ruthlessly crunched by Qantas and low cost operators just as RyanAir etc etc have deflated British Air.
    I received some stuff from J B Were advocating buying Air NZ about a month ago. I laughed. I'm laughing harder than ever - co-operation with Qantas out the window, cash issue coming up, gloves off with Singapore Airlines, competitors girding up.....
    I think I might frame the J B Were letter and hang it on the wall for reference at dinner parties for a good joke....
    I am not so sure about "low or no barrier" to entry. New airlines have great difficulty in picking up a landing slots especially in Japan. There are no domestic discount fliers in Japan as they can't get landing slots and the govt. is protecting the current operators. Not suprisingly flying domestically is pretty expensive.
