    Just got one of those mass email outs from Mr Foran, outlining the impact Covid-19 has had on revenue and the effect on staffing.

    I have some friends who work for Air NZ (junior levels) and feel very sorry for them indeed.

    Starting to get a bit more realistic...

    "Air New Zealand boss says airline will be mainly domestic"

    I guess mass layoffs isn't something companies have had to do for quite some time, and no one wants to be the first.

    Different markets, different product positioning -but the pain is mutual amongst airlines...

    that email was so brutally factual , I was kind of stunned that was sent out to all customers!
    For clarity, nothing I say is advice....

    Pretty hard to sugar coat it. I was half expecting a line in there like "oh, and by the way, we've cancelled your airpoints." Maybe that's the next email...

    Though if they mainly fly domestically it's going to be hard for me to use my $2k apripoints and probably $10k flight credits.

    Yep definitely one of the most "raw" emails I've had throughout this crisis thus far.

    Just read Air NZ described as a ‘zombie airline flying on fumes.’ ...that seems appropriate

    Will be OK when renamed National Airways Corporation
