Bias astounds
Letter to the Editor
by Rob Sansom, Redcliffs

I am astounded by the bias shown by the editorial in Saturday's Press. Whilst I do not agree with the airlines' policy on unaccompanied children, the fact that the public awareness of this issue arose regarding a Qantas flight makes your headline smack of anti Air New Zealand bias.

I suggest you check around the airlines of the world and in particular those servicing Christchurch. I will be very surprised if you find any major differences in policies between them.

You should at least have headlined the offending airline, or is the fact that Qantas is also owned from Australia affecting your judgment?
