Airlines r a great public service, endorsed by Skol.

Yes, a very good company, but I own VAH, check it out.

Don't you work in the Airline sector Skol not one of the jobs going from AIR ??

[Skol]

Yes I work in the airline sector, redundancies occur all the time, no big deal. I started in the airline world in 1969, worked for several airlines and never been made redundant, I'm obviously indispensable.

Just for a laugh Skol and from your comments one can assume that as you know yourself better than anyone else could possibly understand that on many occasions you wisely dispensed yourself

Good thing you decided to get a job in the airline industry... If you'd gone after a career requiring economic expertise (sharemarket/oil/precious metal investments) you would have been fired many times over by now I suspect

Probably, but you don't need to be a university graduate to get ahead, they're the ones that have got us in the sht we're in now, but I'm more than likely the '1%'.



Not too bad for a guy who left NZ in 1969 with $50 my father gave me to see me through a week or two.

Still think I'd do a lot better than most of the gold 'analysts' though.

VAH up 3.4% today on an upgrade from MacQuarie.

A funny world we live in .... on the day Macquarie get downgraded by the ratings agency they upgrade an airline

[Skol]

Dunno about Maquarie but the airline business is going OK.

I started in it in 1969, and it's going better than I ever expected, what with the goldbugs predicting the end of time, but it's 2012, the Illuminati, the New World Order and all that.

There's a backlog of 4000 aircraft to build.

There's a backlog of 4000 aircraft to build.

OK, so it's a good business for Boeing and Airbus.

Doesn't alter the fact that most airlines struggle to make profits, most of the time.
