Jetstar just don't get it



Jetstar accuses Air New Zealand of sabotaging Kiwi launch
We've experienced some tough competition before but we've never experienced someone trying to sabotage our business, or specifically go after us to try and discredit us.
Jetstar CEO Bruce Buchanan
A slanging match has broken out between Jetstar and Air New Zealand after the Australian airline claimed its troubled Kiwi launch had been sabotaged by dirty tricks. Claims this week by Australian budgie airline Jetstar by their chief executive Bruce Buchanan, that Air NZ have sabotaged Jet Star’s launch with rumours that Jetstar’s planes are old and pilots poorly trained.

Ummm, no Bruce, Air NZ haven’t sabotaged your airlines launch, you’ve sabotaged your airlines launch by over booking planes, selecting older passengers over younger passengers while waiting in line (who might create more of a media fuss for being bumped) and hiring stupid and rude staff who treat passengers like cattle. You Bruce have sabotaged your airlines launch by then patronizingly and with a certain Australian arrogance it must be said, told NZers that they need to be ‘educated’ on when to turn up for a Jetstar flight.

Blaming Air NZ for your self inflicted media cock up is just adding ‘whiny’ to a long list of words to described your poor serviced budget truck-to –the-abattoir-is-more-comfortable-than-you-are airline.

Just listened to this turkey, Bruce, on RNZ speaking to Kathryn Ryan - still in complete denial and just plain lying. A smarmy and patronising attitude from these Aussies - his whole shtick revolving around lies - he has been proven by his own customers to be lying.

They operate a barn and they are lying arseholes.

Well done
I posted my experience with JetStar in the last post and vented my rage. FIlthy planes and bad tempered staff. Swore never again to travel with them and went back to AirNZ.
