Glad you mentioned the Tech-stops....was thinking VAB would have been pretty damn tight on the fuel when approaching Rwy 13!!

Nah, we just hitch on to the back of one of the other long-haul aircraft and turn the engines off to save fuel

Yep it was on 3 'News' during their report on Air Nelson's strikes.
They just mentioned that Air NSN was covering the strikes by using federation pilots, other Air NZ aircraft eg a 737 AKL-PMR and by using charter airlines such as VIncent Aviation where possible.
My mum asked me who Vincent was and I had to mention that I knew a guy...

One News probably did something similar as well.
