Speaker 1: probably out of your purview, but if you guys ever

9
00:00:15,800 --> 00:00:17,919
Speaker 1: thought about going direct to Las Vegas regularly.

10
00:00:19,120 --> 00:00:22,200
Speaker 2: Oh, look, we're always looking at new destinations for our network,

11
00:00:22,720 --> 00:00:25,120
Speaker 2: but it's not on the radar as a permanent destination

12
00:00:25,200 --> 00:00:25,800
Speaker 2: at this stage.

13
00:00:25,960 --> 00:00:30,760

Speaker 2: Yeah, so we're coordinating the package through our grab a

17
00:00:37,360 --> 00:00:41,319

00:01:04,840 --> 00:01:05,960

27
00:01:13,319 --> 00:01:15,240
Speaker 2: leisurely stroll down the bulverard. Yeah.

28
00:01:15,840 --> 00:01:18,280
Speaker 1: Putting extra drink on board the plane, because I suspect

29
00:01:18,280 --> 00:01:20,000
Speaker 1: your average Warriors fan is going to be a bit

30
00:01:20,040 --> 00:01:21,240
Speaker 1: ready to go, you know what I mean.

31
00:01:22,400 --> 00:01:25,760
Speaker 2: We'll have plenty of refreshments on board the aircraft. We

32
00:01:25,880 --> 00:01:28,200
Speaker 2: might even have a little bit of pino on there

33
00:01:28,200 --> 00:01:31,480
Speaker 2: in cases. Any pinols that care to join, Oh, very good.

34
00:01:32,240 --> 00:01:34,280
Speaker 1: If the plane fills up, is there another plane or

35
00:01:34,319 --> 00:01:35,720
Speaker 1: is this literally one off?

36
00:01:37,160 --> 00:01:40,399
Speaker 2: At this stage it's one off, But obviously if the

37
00:01:40,440 --> 00:01:43,440
Speaker 2: demand is so strong, we'll do everything we can to

38
00:01:43,520 --> 00:01:46,160
Speaker 2: try and get another aircraft on. But for now, just

39
00:01:46,160 --> 00:01:47,040
Speaker 2: this one aircraft.

40
00:01:47,160 --> 00:01:50,640
Speaker 1: Fantastic. And what would your assessment of the demand be

41
00:01:50,920 --> 00:01:53,480
Speaker 1: or you're literally guessing no.

42
00:01:53,760 --> 00:01:56,000
Speaker 2: Demand? I think is going to be very very high.

43
00:01:56,040 --> 00:01:58,120
Speaker 2: We've had a lot of calls through and a lot

44
00:01:58,120 --> 00:02:02,400
Speaker 2: of communication from Tough and Warriors fans that are wanting

45
00:02:02,480 --> 00:02:04,160
Speaker 2: to actually go to the game. So as soon as

46
00:02:04,160 --> 00:02:06,760
Speaker 2: it was announced, we had quite a few people coming

47
00:02:06,800 --> 00:02:08,280
Speaker 2: through asking what we were going to do.

48
00:02:08,560 --> 00:02:10,480
Speaker 1: Brilliant. Good on you, Lee and I appreciate your time

49
00:02:10,560 --> 00:02:13,000
Speaker 1: very much. Lee and Gerrity in New Zealands chief Customer

50
00:02:13,000 --> 00:02:16,000
Speaker 1: and sales officer. Might I suggest and we didn't actually

51
00:02:16,040 --> 00:02:18,320
Speaker 1: start the week with the Warriors like we normally do,

52
00:02:18,400 --> 00:02:21,400
Speaker 1: because well, wow, I was there because we lost, because

53
00:02:21,440 --> 00:02:24,760
Speaker 1: we lost, and we lost badly. And Chanelle Harris Devita,

54
00:02:24,800 --> 00:02:28,679
Speaker 1: who I love, love him like a brother, but he

55
00:02:28,720 --> 00:02:32,480
Speaker 1: cannot kick for shit. I mean, come on, there is

56
00:02:32,520 --> 00:02:36,120
Speaker 1: no way, there's no way of hiding that. And as

57
00:02:36,120 --> 00:02:38,600
Speaker 1: I said to the lads on Monday, I literally can

58
00:02:38,720 --> 00:02:41,680
Speaker 1: kick better than him, and that is saying nothing. And

59
00:02:41,720 --> 00:02:44,600
Speaker 1: for Webster to have a backup kicker who is that

60
00:02:45,280 --> 00:02:50,920
Speaker 1: bad is inexcusable. I'm sorry, but it's inexcusable. So we

61
00:02:50,960 --> 00:02:52,720
Speaker 1: need to sort of tidy our act up a little

62
00:02:52,760 --> 00:02:57,280
Speaker 1: bit to warrant Vegas, because if we come like sixteenth

63
00:02:57,400 --> 00:02:59,320
Speaker 1: or seventeenth, you really want to go to Vegas to

64
00:02:59,440 --> 00:03:01,360
Speaker 1: watch us lou to the Raiders because I can tell

65
00:03:01,400 --> 00:03:03,560
Speaker 1: you what happened the last time we played the Raiders.

66
00:03:03,840 --> 00:03:05,880
