I heard a rumour this morning that the Mount Cook fleet has been grounded due airframe cracks, can't find out anymore at this stage but a quick check on the AirNZ website show the ATR flights being cancelled, at least up until around 10am.

Thats not Smith & Smith, ya silly old bugger......it's Novus. Wont the media have a feast on this one....anyday now, all the experts will be coming out from under their rocks. Expert= "x" being the the unknown factor, and a "spurt" is just a drip under pressure.....yes i know its "pert" but you know what i mean.

Yeah there was a mention on the news, near the end, even interviewed some punters who's plans had been interupted, noone seemed to phased by it all

TV3 did well, they had a picture of the trusty 748 at the start of their story on the 6pm news but somebody must have said something because they corrected it later. TVNZ's file footage must have been old because there was a Qantas NZ Dash8 in the background.
