You are looking at maybe 10% of the Ansett craft flying again.  It is an
exercise to keep value in the Ansett brand.  It won't make money.  It won't
affect the overall carriage of people.

They have 143 aircraft.  They will get between 5 and 10 running again till
such time as they can dispose of the assets or sell the brand and perhaps
some assets to someone with an awful lot of money to spare.
