Personally would be happy to forgo the special if they invested into a few new investments, especially if it gave them back their innovative mojo

i thought Special divs would be more appropriate with final full year results?
Yes my base case expectation is still 13 cps ordinary dividend. I was being a little cheeky earlier :) I disagree Raz, I think they've invested enough in things like the biggest solar array in N.Z., electric cars and ground vehicles coming and they have plans already that will significantly lower the average aircraft age over the next few years with heaps of new efficient aircraft on order.
All time record profit tomorrow will prove they haven't lost any mojo...anything but !!
Disagree with Raz without even knowing what I'm referring about haha..Id bite your head off, actually something else..I have tabled my thoughts to them:-) All for free as we do deserve the world best airline with a point of difference that mitigates the competition that is coming...
Chill Raz, we all like to think we have the answers on how to run the airline better and here's another great idea. The X and cuteness factor is off the charts, (IMHO, former beagle dog owner here), and capex is really low too :) http://www.nydailynews.com/news/worl...icle-1.1951176
They could even boost their business...if you fall in love with the beagle you can take it on the flight as a companion animal for the price of another seat, business class only....only the best for Beagles :)
Good to hear Raz. hopefully there's one or two dog lovers on the board too. Pretty sure a returned item from a beagle would generate an extremely positive response !
So the thread, but hopefully not the airline is going to the dogs...:p
Anyway, as I will not be around for the next few days I will comment on tomorrows result announcement now.
A) Even worse than I imagined - told you so
B) Spot on - Am I the Cat's Whiskers or What?
C) Well there is a surprise!

While we shoot the breeze and pass time till tomorrow's stellar result, does anyone know why AIR are so reluctant to take pets on board in the cabin ? Suppose its something to do with odious MAF requirements ?
These guys have the right idea about caring for man's best friend...and what's more the dog on the website bears a startling resemblance to my Skippy :)

Because the aircraft cabin would suffer the same stink as a dog/cat owners car.
Travelled beside other passengers with their dogs in US, they have to be complex certified companion animals for liability reasons over there to fly. First I was so shocked you would never know they were under the front seat in business class...they are that so well trained and groomed.
I've travelled a few times on internal flights with guide dogs, generally they have boarded first with their owner. All lay happily (the dog, not the owner!) under the seat, not a sound out of any of them and unless you looked closely you would never know they were there. No problem.
