Sir John was their for a little while then got lost in the crowd. I was quite relieved when C L reassured me there would be no specials over or near NK. :D all round.

I don't think the beagle sniffed out the hidden word at the bottom of my in-jest post.
All shareholders are equal, it's just that some are more equal than others. I was Gold Elite when I was to-ing and fro-ing to the USA every 3 months for a while in bizzo. It's crushing news to be told you're being demoted to Gold, then Silver, and finally to Bronze when your travel frequency dries up :( On the bright side, we're all still on the winners podium :t_up:
Hound was so busy on Friday he just about went cross eyed. Fortunately my nose for corporate B.S. is still intact in spite of a thorough workout on Friday in relation to matters I can't discuss on here, (not in any way related to AIR) Yes I missed your hidden word but knew you were speaking in jest :)
If Air New Zealand said they were close to joining up with AIRCOIN the share price would shoot up to $5
I have no idea how AIRCOIN works but any company that mentions 'coin' gets a sudden boost
The times they are a changin'
Simple change of name for the AirPOINTS scheme to AIRCOIN is all that required and $5 here we come :D
Air tell me their airpoints are just like cash.
Test your mettle on the longest commercial flight in the world...yikes not for me :eek2: would really put the lag into jet lag. http://www.msn.com/en-nz/travel/news...cid=spartandhp
Doing this flight next Friday, followed by another one 2 hours later thru to London, will let you know how it go's. Have done most other variations of the trip to London and now look for a more pleasant on ground experience than standing in a usa customs line for an hour each time I transit with Air NZ thru LA
Cynically I wonder if this is pretend stuff with main aim to make more money. Good story though.

Give AIR some credit though - they have some pretty well thought of people on their Sustainability Council. Sort of suggests they do take sustainability seriously .. but profits still fitRst I fear.
Like the comment about AIR being good at recycling (useless) Prime Minister who was well past his use by date
I wonder if they are using Cavotec equipment to provide ground power.

Cavotec was for a time listed on the NZX as a result of their takeover of Mooring Systems.
Boop boop de do

Nothing new in plugging aircraft into terminal power. This has been happening for a number of years. All airlines do the same thing to keep APU use to a minimum. Why it is being reported as something new beats me.
