the share buyback program is just company's tactic to convince investor not to depress the share price.., if they really want to buy back shares.., when don't they do so last year when the price is far cheaper than this year
why don't they i mean
oh.., lucky wait until the right price than enter again
...if the US nonsense keeps going, the right price to enter may be in the next month. Then again, I still think AIR has not climbed as steeply as other shares, and will not drop back too far, especially with the confidence in their performance, management and outlook into the near future (for me that is 1-3 years). I think that, regardless of which government wins the next election in 2014, AIR will head North, somewhere towards $1.75 safely. And increase dividend, or keep it steady, for my near future thinking. That is just a guess. I wish I had cash
Sold out, these nonsense about hiring overseas based, NZ has lots of talents. Firstly they should look here. Not happy.
I won't bite, and I am not overly familiar with the matter but for balance (and what seems like a perfectly reasonable justification:
But Air New Zealand says the employees needed under the accredited employer scheme are "highly specialised" and the roles can be difficult to fill in New Zealand.
"The skills required are entirely different to the engineering roles referenced by the EPMU'," an Air New Zealand spokeswoman told NZ Newswire.
The spokeswoman said most of the roles were required by the airline's Altitude Aerospace business which specialises in customised fit-outs for private jets, however some were also required for its IT function.
The roles include university-qualified avionic engineers, design engineers, senior aeronautical engineers and software automation test engineers.
The question is are the jobs different and how difficult would it be to upskill the existing staff. One has to assume they have done this analysis.
Its not as if they are outsourcing to cheap labour in another country. Any new, foreign, employee will be NZ based, will probably join the union and will be paid a full NZ wage.
Seems I've missed an article somewhere.
I can say degreed engineers will be on individual contracts as I am and they will be at least industry standard rates. Air NZ pay well. There is a shortage of engineers in NZ. Our universities seem to prefer to pump out arts majors. It's not possible to just train people up, you must go do the degree and, to then actually be useful, get experience.
At the moment we have a BBJ (737 private jet) project on and another about to start on an overlap due to the first taking longer than anticipated. Resources are already stretched past capacity so I guess this is their solution. If there was available, qualified guys in NZ, we would be employing them right now.
I'd love to see the article but it sounds like a political beat up. Not published by Helen Kelly was it?
Is AIR currently doing share buy backs? If so, why does it not show up in the news feed for them? every day, just after lunch, big chunks are being recorded... well the last 3-4 days anyway... millions at a time... is this too small for them to have to report on?
I was also assuming that the volumes going through in the last few days were the start of share buyback but in the absence of an announcement, I'm beginning to wonder...
looks like the govt is push finding ways to push up share prices and sell the stakes
when is the AGM.... indicating a nice forecasting or yesterdays..tourism number looks well
