This whole "I turned it around and saved it big time" schtik is so much bollocks. Just like Teflon John inheriting a massive trove of savings from the previous Labour administration, Cluxon arrived at Air NZ when it was ALREADY turned around and doing fabulously. I don't think there was anyone there that wanted Rob Fyfe to go.
Oddly, in 2019, the majority of Air New Zealanders were elated when Cluxon fucked off, having seen the plane wreck he'd caused, and the lives and careers just destroyed by his "christian" business ideology.
Somewhere down the back of almost every Air New Zealand flight is a private pilot's license holder who has been aching to hear that question over the PA, "Does anyone on board know how to fly a plane?" since the day they first went solo...
Yeah, that was me until I tried the (quite excellent) Pacific Simulators 737 when they used to have them in suburban malls. Not so sure now, quite hard to slow down a big aircraft if you are used to small ones. Did manage to bounce into Wellington in perfect (simulated) weather, but needed a lot of help.
Great newsletter. In this time of distrust of expertise, I often think about this cartoon.
And when the oxygen masks dropped from the ceiling, the entitled couple in seats 3A and 3B, proudly waved their exemption certificates.
I'd had a wonderful day before I read this, and it made it even better!
That was great! ".....only knows how to say things to incentivise or de-risk the people who use controls going forward." lol
That made me very happy!
Great - are the movie rights up for grabs?
The Three Stooges could play the main roles.
First laugh out loud of the day - thank you!

Please don't anyone be fooled by this fool.

Ahhh, the ol' wing & a prayer (now known as mission statements....)
I imagine the Grabaseat Leader rummaging in the glovebox looking for a golden parachute.
Hard call on the song after the coffee. I picked Foo Fighters Learning To Fly.
I’ve just got this gut feeling that Luxon becoming Prime Minister won’t be happening to him in the future going forward.
Excellent!
Brilliant! But where's Clarence?
Haha, Dave perhaps you are a little biased against the natural party of government?
I laughed so much! Thank you.
