Air NZ Profit

It’s good to see Air NZ making a good profit. I always chuckle at it, because for years Air NZ have predicted doom and gloom for the airline unless the Commerce Commission caves in and allows them to do a deal with Qantas (which would almost kill competition). I’m glad the bluff has been played, and we still have competition and a profitable Air NZ.
Fran O’Sullivan also makes the valid point that the EPMU deserves some plaudits for reaching an agreement with Air NZ which has allowed it to increase productivity and gain more engineering work for other airlines.

Did some of the profits come out of the Engineer’s pockets? I gather the Union seems to think so? Have to wait developments.

What is the percentage return on equity/investment represented by this profit? Does it make Air NZ a blue chip investment year in year out?
