Over the last three years with AIR I now have enough money 'in the bank' to watch the 'downs' without too much panic. I also think this is a very fine company, and get a lot of pleasure, and take some pride, in seeing the livery flying in and out daily. I accept that with increasing competition the profits may be reduced in the future, but with the way AIR has positioned itself for the future, I feel sure that it will continue to represent NZ, and its shareholders, well.
I look forward to reading all the forum postings, preferring to read the pros than the cons, of course. And I do appreciate the well considered postings from Roger, and enjoyed reading Hamish's post. Some of the negative posts seem to be very emotive for whatever reason....... :-)
