Once again poor Eddie from the stranded gets very confused when he starts calling Air NZ a disgrace.

Eddie starts off well.

What exactly is our national carrier, which is more than 80% publicly owned, doing boasting about how it can break its own workers?

He then discusses the problems associated with industrial action for staff, once again Eddie stays on theme here.

Strike action is the final option for most workers, especially low paid workers like these. It only comes after they are given no other choice by their employer and it hurts all parties involved.

Eddie then starts to get down to business;

The deal with the Zeal crew is that they are employed by a holding company, Zeal 320, that Air New Zealand owns and that company has an agreement to staff Air New Zealand flights. They are the only employees of Zeal 320. Every one of their managers is employed by Air NZ.

Then he forgot to question 'how did it happen' - he looses the plot and goes straight for the guys who ran the company on behalf of the owners at the time it was all set up that way ( Labour ), the guys who set the profit targets ( Labour ).

The root of the problem is that Eddie is compromised in the he is programmed to never criticise Labour. It's actually a bit more than a config setting to correct, lprent has been playing with the Eddie bot for a while and he freely admits Eddie's got a few glitches to iron out.

So until lprent fixes the numerous bugs, please remember that Eddie will throw some wild stories to deflect any hint of blame from landing on the Labour party. Enjoy them for what they are, collections of context appropriate auto-argument fragments.

Edit The Standard is born.

Want a different view of The Herald? Try Editing the Herald instead.

James lays out the daily journalistic disgraces of our beloved Granny and makes you laugh. The dumb prick did however rip off their trademark masthead verbatim and now he's pissed that the herald are spewing and threatening lawyers gun and money unless he takes down the masthead.

Eddie got a bit upset earlier on over at my parody site The Standard and got a trademark infringement highly confused with free speech. Poor Eddit, I feel for him really.

Eddie might want to do some digging and find out how much was last paid for the rights to use that masthead.
