Mate, totally agreed on that one! I've heard him referred to as "the poison dwarf"

Dixon was a hard man, but he kept Qantas strong and kept pushing forward. Under other management who knows how things may have ended up.

Also agree on this. Hard man, kept the ship going straight and maybe somewhat emotionless and acid-tongued because of this.

It is understandable for Jet Airways and Kingfisher to become a bit difficult because of the recent economic tsunami.

But I think they must use the 800 new recruited crews and the new aircrafts to launch the following, and I am sure after such, their financial wellbeing can be a little bit better off, because of our strong economy and hugh air transport demand:

New Delhi - Sydney - Auckland
New Delhi - Brisbane - Christchurch
New Delhi - Perth - Melbourne
Mumbai - Sydney - Christchurch
Mumbai - Brisbane - Auckland
Mumbai - Perth - Melbourne

I believe with the low labour cost in India plus the high Tasman yield, the 2 airlines would be much better off by operating these 3 rotues. In addition, they can take some market share from SQ and CX that many Indians need to change flights from India to Australia/NZ.
