I recently read Steven Pinker's book dispelling a number of "sky is falling" myths about the world. It's important to take the long view about these things and not make emotional decisions. I'll be buying more AIR today as well. I still believe in the story, but as you wisely point out, a little breather to catch up may overall be a good thing for New Zealand.
In addition, price gouging compared to alternatives, seen a lot of reviews on social media that NZ is very expenses and word gets around.
