dont fly air new zealand they loose luggage in Brisbane australia - 15 Jun 2005 13:43 GMT Well the Air quatus personnel at counter said he would call the for the transfer he had the tickets and the description of the luggage only one of two arrived in Png. Every were i go i tell the story and i ask people the same thing: would fly Air New Zealand they were so insensitive especially in Australia and new Zealand.
i tell people to fly air Korea, Singapore, Cathay Pacific there the best.
Have you hear the story told by an Air New Zealand cabin worker the gist of it was this: Passenger waiting for a air craft from air Singapore but it did not arrive due to engine problem the replacement was Air New Zealand because of the Alliance. Well the Passenger Saw the plane and started to boohoos the Air New Zealand they said the plane are like riding a plane ten years behind the time. no word on whether there luggage arrived safely or at all with the passengers!
dont fly air new zealand they loose luggage in Brisbane australia - 16 Jun 2005 00:58 GMT Air New Zealand lost my luggage in Brisbane and ruined my dream holiday that took two years of saving and planning for.
I booked a ticket with Air New Zealand for a flight on September 7, 2004. I traveled with two pieces of luggage, one a roll-on 51-liter knapsack type and the other a black 1127 Transit Case made by Underwater Kinetics, dimensions being 27.0 x 18.1 x 10.9 inches also with a DAN Sticker on the side.
I checked my luggage upon arrival at Pearson Airport with the understanding that I would not have to retrieve it until Brisbane.
Upon my arrival at Los Angeles Air Port, I went to the Air Canada counter to inquire about my luggage.
The person behind the counter stated that Air Canada should have the luggage with them awaiting transfer to my air new Zealand flight.
Again, I trusted both airlines to have the luggage and to transfer it safely.
After arriving in Auckland, New Zealand, there was a four-hour overlay and the same plane was refueled and we continued on to Brisbane.
When I got to Brisbane, Security did not allow me to retrieve my luggage. Instead, they informed me that I could ask at the Air New Zealand counter upstairs for them to retrieve and transfer it for me.
I went to the Air New Zealand counter and I was assured by the clerk that radioed down to the baggage handlers working on the baggage carrousel that both pieces of luggage were identified and located, and they would be transferred to the Air Niugini flight to Port Moresby, my final destination.
During all this time I never physically saw my luggage, believing all was well.
After landing in Port Moresby, to my shock and horror, I learned that only one piece of my luggage containing my clothing had arrived and other the largest and most essential containing my diving was equipment is missing.
I immediately filed a lost luggage report with Luggage Personnel at Port Moresby.
He told me he would look for it and needed my itinerary. However, I later learned the search was suspended the very same day. It is still suspended to this day. In spite of, my travel agent repeatedly asking for it to be reopened.
This may just be another case of lost luggage to you however; it is a devastating loss of equipment that was crucial to fulfilling my trip requirement. A trip I saved and planned for two years.
As a result, I was unable to do what I came and paid to do, which was to dive.
I spent 10 days on a boat with 18 other people who all got their luggage. I physically became ill from the stress and worry of my luggage being lost or perhaps even stolen.
I trusted the airlines concerned to carry me and my luggage to my point of destination.
It is a mystery to me that my small piece of luggage arrived but not the largest and most important piece.
I want to be reimbursed and compensated for my total cost of airfare and loss of underwater kinetics 1127 transit case and all of its contents that was entrusted to you Air New Zealand Air Niugini.

> It is a mystery to me that my small piece of luggage arrived but not the > largest and most important piece. You mean the one in the fancy case that advertised "expensive dive gear inside". Yeah, it's a mystery. To an idiot.
> I want to be reimbursed and compensated for my total cost of airfare and > loss of underwater kinetics 1127 transit case and all of its contents that > was entrusted to you Air New Zealand Air Niugini. Total cost of airfare? They brought you to your destination and brought you back home. Don't be silly. I'd be happy if I got reimbursed for my rental gear.
And I thought you entrusted your luggage to Air Canada? Please make up your mind.
I believe, according to the fine print on the ticket you purchased, and as I'm sure your knowledgeable and capable travel agent made you aware, the airline is limited in its liability to you for something like a few cents per pound of luggage. So you should definitely receive some compensation. Obviously had you insured the stuff, you'd have a right to be reimbursed the value of the equipment. Everyone knows that. Are you as stupid as you sound?
Lee Bell - 16 Jun 2005 04:08 GMT > Are you as stupid as you sound? Apparently. What happened to the liberal do-gooder? The guy was probably a victim of discrimination of some kind.
Whoever you are, not you Greg, the whiner that wrote the original message, you made several mistakes: 1. You carried on something you didn't care about and checked something you did. My essential dive gear is carried on. I check my couple thousand dollars worth of underwater camera equipment before I check my regulator. 2. You marked your case as dive gear. That's a clear invitation to have it stolen. This has only been known for, oh, as long as people have been flying to dive sites. 3. You failed to ensure equipment. You took a chance and you lost. Tough, but it was your choice. 4. You bitched about it, without posting your name, on a list that does not have a lot of patience with those that bring trouble on themselves and then cry about it here.
We're sorry you lost your equipment. We're sorry your dive trip didn't turn out as planned, even though we think you probably could have done something about that. We're even sorry that you failed to insure your valuable equipment before turning it over to people who, let's face it, are not affluent, overly bright or, quite often, overly honest. Still, you should have known better.

How can you prove that it was Air NZ that lost your luggage and not your first carrier, Air Canada, or the baggage handlers en route? After all you went through LAX and luggage theft problems there have been reported.
> ... A trip I saved and planned for two years. To compensate for the risk of catastrophic loss, one buys insurance.
> I want to be reimbursed and compensated... And if you asked correctly, you would have been, since airlines are required to provide compensation for lost/delayed baggage. The exact details are printed on the ticket and/or ticket holder.
Bottom line is that if you can't afford even the risk of loss, don't go.

diverbug - 18 Jul 2005 01:32 GMT I can imagine it being frustrating loosing your luggage, But to blame the airline is a funny thing to do since they fly the plane, the airport staff are the ones who transfer the bags from check in counter to the plane, As for air New Zealand, I live in New Zealand & use them for over 20 trips per year, Mostly to Fiji, the USA, & to the UK, where I am from originally, They have never lost or damaged my baggage, so I think your comments are a little over stated, a bit like blaming the gasoline company when you have a flat Tyre on your car, as for the staff being insensitive, Imagine how you would feel in there shoes, they don’t handle the baggage but put up with people who would know no better thinking they lost the bags, A hint for the next time you go way is to take travel insurance, you could have hired gear, & the insurance would have reimbursed the cost,

As we can all see idjits as you put it you must rank high in there society, I would have looked at your profile too see what the master (baiter) had to give as example but Alan Street, doesn’t seem to have a profile, if you can explain what is wrong with stating I am an enthusiastic water person, I am not ashamed of it as there are a lot of wana-bees out there, like look at you, such a great profile, you don’t want to leave a link to show the rest of the world, So again as you put it, “Goddamn this deeperblue.net.

Tell you what, Mr. KiwiBug, once you figure out which parts of the reply were written by me and which were written by Greg, why don't you carefully sort them out and forward them to one of the volunteers. I'm sure they'll agree with you that we're not the kind of people you want on DeeperBlue.net, and I'm sure they'll revoke our privileges straight away. Once you've done that, you can return here and tell everyone else how you've started to clean up the place. I'm sure everyone will then cheerfully answer all your questions and share your newfound enthusiasm for diving and spearfishing.
Cheers,

diverbug - 19 Jul 2005 05:35 GMT Hey Alan How are you doing? You asked if any one has ever told me to f.ck off. I was intrigued that you did I was assuming you want me to f.ck off? Why would that be? After all you did start the insults, What made your insults more comical is how uneducated they seem to be, Have you ever heard the saying "Not the sharpest pencil in the draw" It in many ways describes you!
A few things you said
"Replying in threads months if not years stale."
The forum I replied to was four weeks old, that is less than the average calendar month, so I think you should get a few of your facts right before you go making profound comments,
"To stay out of rec.scuba unless they can follow the simple rules of netiquette. That means no posting to stale threads that are months if not years old."
When I posted my response, I was not actually in "rec.scuba" I was in Deep Blue, And where are the rules of netiquette? I have still been unable to locate them,
Then you go on to say "You're on deeperblue.net; we're on the USENET newsgroup rec.scuba... We're the source; you're just a copy... If you want to play with us, you should come to *our* playground... "
This clearly states you know where I am & you are,
So I am starting to think you are a very confused, sad & lost individual who gets his kicks out of trying to throwing meaningless insults but you still have not the IQ level to realize to deliver an insult requires intelligence, & the only little squirt on the net I would say was you! A squirt from day one, You were probably squirted into a condom & spilled onto the bed before your mother sat on the stain, becoming fertilized, giving birth to Mr. Squirt, & you were probably the shortest in the class, the squirt, bullied for being a squirt, hence the need to act the man on the net where you can attempt to be some one, you define your "play ground" as "the Real Ocean" Now I would relate the invitation to your playground as too where you were bullied as a child at school, where you had the chance to define your sad worthless life but you became a victim, the squirt that was the school punch bag,
So you invite people to the playground to try to stand aground and prove you are a man & not the squirt you have been for so long,
And you were saying Tell you what, Mr. KiwiBug, once you Bla Bla Bla I guess the reference Kiwibug is in relation to being in New Zealand? Am I from NZ? Or would you being the only peanut in the turd you assume I am from NZ? If I am from NZ then I would pride my self as a Kiwi, if im not then the insult is about as hurtful as a chocolate fire guard is useful, If you don't get the last part let me know I will simplify it for you again,
And for another quote from the dumb a.s again (meaning You) "I'm sure everyone will then cheerfully answer all your questions and share your newfound enthusiasm
for diving and spearfishing" If you read the entirety of my profile you would see I have been Scuba diving for five years now, Not exactly new found now is it? You really seem to be the kind of guy who leaps with out looking then breaks his leg & says if I had seen it I wouldn't have jumped, Now try not to loose sleep or time in syberporn sites replying as you are not really the type of individual I would care to waste more than 5 Miniutes of my time on, Sadly you have had six miniutes, that is probably more than your life is worth, Now go Toss Toss, & remember to wipe the keyboard your flat mate wont want too be a victim of an unwanted brat like your mother was,
Alan Street - 19 Jul 2005 06:07 GMT > Hey Alan > How are you doing? I'm doing fine. You?
> You asked if any one has ever told me to f.ck off. Actually, no I didn't. If you can figure it out, I suggest you visit groups.google.com (I'd suggest a real newsreader, but I have this sneaky suspicion you don't even know what one is), enter "rec.scuba" and try to find this thread. If and when you do, see who said what, when. You'll discover that every word you've attributed to me was posted by someone else (not that I disagree with them, just that I didn't say them).
Here's a hint - prior to your ill-advised rant on this newsgroup, the only thing I posted was, "class-action lawsuit?"

See what I mean? quire was incorrect, but it passed the spellcheck. Or perhaps you could explain what you meant by "24 or 25 sheets of paper" boys?

My two closest guesses would be queer boy, which doesn't make any sense, and choir boy, but that would be a hideous misspelling.

You took the advice, & you have got no legs, so you sit on your a.s to prove you are as big a.s the a.s you sit on,
As for not hearing of Google, I am not surprised that this is New to you, after your swim you found the meaning of "Joke" & "To Late" followed by "Bugger"
So try to understand I have worked out you have no life, you are an a.shole, & you are in denial of this, So next time you go for a swim in the lake try wrapping the deer skin around your hear, it will keep your ears warm too, You ask "And hopefuly you learned something from my critique" I lerned from the sentence there is almost a hint of human in the shell You see ***Hopefuly**** is spelled ******hopefully***** so what do you actually have to teach? I all ready know you are an a.shole, with no life, I think you should take my advice on the cable from the computer, there really is no hope for you now the last remaining thread of dignity you had is gone,
"Old Hat" might be a cool saying in the swamp too but there is a world out side of the big swamp, you should try having a look, actually go to the site you were telling me about http://google.com and type world you will see the swamp is like a pimple on a planet, if the world could we would pop you & be done with you, but life is not so simple,

But the term Old hat is dually noted as a hip thing to say if I ever end up in a plane that crashes in your local swamp, along with how to end it if I feel like there is no way to escape your hell hole of a bog land,

For example, search terms like "Usenet etiquette" and "Netiquette" turn up the following useful webpages:
http://www.dtcc.edu/cs/rfc1855.html http://www.html-faq.com/etiquette/ http://www.albion.com/netiquette/
However, the classic netiquette advice is from 'Emily Postnews':
http://www.faqs.org/faqs/usenet/emily-postnews/part1/ http://www.templetons.com/brad/emily.html
(BTW, in case you're humor-impared, this is a satire piece)
There's also a FAQ that I've been too lazy to take the time to give is a major rewrite:
http://scifi.squawk.com/scuba.html
Finally, please be awaer none of us are in any way obligated to be at your beck and call to answer any/all of your questions, nor are we in any way obligated to assure that we're actually correct. In other words, free advice to be worth what you paid for it, and may only irregularly provided...
-hh
diverbug - 24 Jul 2005 03:36 GMT You were saying there is something called a "Search Engine" What kind of car is it in & where do you buy them? Do you require a license to drive them & how do you actually manage to fit in it to drive it around through the small cables & chips in the computer, & the internet?
Now you are probably scratching your head to work out if I am serious, I was asking about the Rules of netiquette for Rec.scuba, I am guessing the addresses you posted would generalize for all Usenet threads,
And as for treating people like they are stupid, I keep asking for people who do this, people like you, you said "When you're looking for information, something called a "Search Engine" is what you want to use."
So do you really get kicks from this, or are you just really new to the net (short for internet) & would like to show your new found Knowledge with the world?
Or are you really Just Stupid?
There is an old saying, "Treat people how you want to be treated"
So in your case have you passed the potty stage? Are you using a toilet yet? Or do you still wear nappies (AKA diapers depending where in the world you are) (AKA = Also Know As)
Or do you just have such a meaningless life this is how you make your self feel like a worth while human?
If you answered yes to the last question, you should try using your new found tool "the search engine" & look for tips & ways to end the waste of a life you have,
Another thing you said,
>Finally, please be aware none of us are in any way obligated to be at > your beck and call to answer any/all of your questions, nor are we in > any way obligated to assure that we're actually correct. In other > words, free advice to be worth what you paid for it, and may only > irregularly provided... I never thought you were obligated to be at my beck & call, I never expected it to be correct; if I did I would be in the stupid club too, I also didn't ask for advice, just where to find what I was being asked if I had read, For advice I would go to a site where people went as they actually participate in the subject of what the site is about,
I wouldn't go to a site for telling jokes if I wanted advice on skydiving locations, would I?
But thank you for the advice you gave, it was like you said it was free, so worth nothing, but I was moved you took time to share your discovery of "the search engine" with us all.............. DB
PS If you are still trying to work out if I know what a "Search Engine" is then type "Commit Suicide" in there, it might help you out of your sad & sorry state.
(Also You might have to try a bit harder but it is a push in the right direction)

I tried, but you insisted on being a rude, spoiled whiney brat.
FWIW, don't think that I didn't notice that you never answered the question I posed to you way back on June 16th:
"How can you prove that it was Air NZ that lost your luggage and not your first carrier, Air Canada, or the baggage handlers en route? After all you went through LAX and luggage theft problems there have been reported."
Similarly, for your desire to be reimbursed and compensated:
"And if you asked correctly, you would have been, since airlines are required to provide compensation for lost/delayed baggage. The exact details are printed on the ticket and/or ticket holder."
Finally, for your bitching about a trip you had saved and planned for two years for:
"To compensate for the risk of catastrophic loss, one buys insurance....Bottom line is that if you can't afford even the risk of loss, don't go."
The bottom line is that you're now lamely whining about something that is always a risk - - one that's manageable through your own choices to insure for - - but you chose to take the risk of going without a safety net...and had the 'bad luck' to have suffered the consequences.
> I was asking about the Rules of netiquette for Rec.scuba... You already got the answer to that, and you were obstinately unsatisfied with it. Hence, my generalization on Netiquette...perhaps it was what you were looking for? Its hard to read your mind when nobody's home, particularly when you don't even know what you want.

Are you looking for "justice" (actually: revenge) against a big airline?
If so, you've not successfully made your case as to exactly who was culpable for your material loss.
Are you looking for sympathy?
If so, you've come to the wrong place: you've insisted on being an a.shole, so its quite kharmatically appropriate that you were the guy who gets ripped off, for you're simply being treated in the fashion that you deserve (sound familiar?).
And so on. Put up or shut up.

You really should pay more attention to who posted what so that you would know to whom to reply about what... You attributed the replies of quite a few of the rec.scuba regulars to Alan... If you're going to attempt to insult someone, you really should be more accurate in the targeting of your insult attempts...
Oh, and BTW, 5 years as a diver isn't necessarily all that much to brag about... You're still a newbie... Over here, quite a few of us remember when Darwin was the only certification agency... You didn't get a certificate if you passed, but you definitely got one from the M.E. if you failed...
"Welcome to rec.scuba... Has anyone told you to f.ck off yet?"
diverbug - 21 Jul 2005 02:25 GMT For your information, when I commented I had been diving for 5 years, I was not actually bragging, if you had the intelligence to read the whole article, you would see I was highlighting the fact that 5 years as a scuba diver was not new found, Again you asked has any one told me to f.ck off.
Well actually, No they haven't, & even if they did then Boo Hoo, I wont loose any sleep over it as people are entitle to an opinion but whether their opinion counts is another matter, & as for how long you have been diving? I couldn't actually care less; you probably spend more time trying to brag about how long ago your first ever dive was, on sites like this,
Now should I ask if any one has ever told you to fuckoff?
They probably have but as a parasite this won't be new to you,
So enjoy your life, enjoy reminiscing on how long you have been a qualified diver, & go back to reading picture books if there is too much text in this article for you to cope with.......

Some people word the greeting as: "Welcome to rec.scuba... Has anyone been rude to you yet?"
Around here, this is a polite greeting...

How long have *I* been diving... Awh, hell, let me break out the fingers, toes, and whatever other appendages that I can find... Ooops ran out of them... Hmmm... I think it works out to be around 27 years by now... Back then we didn't have pens and paper, we had to use chisel them into stone tablets... Of course, there's some around here who have been diving so long that even stone wasn't invented at that time... <grin>
> I couldn't actually care less; you probably spend more time trying to > brag about how long ago your first ever dive was, on sites like this, Hell kid, I probably have tanks older than you...
> Now should I ask if any one has ever told you to fuckoff? Of course they have, it's a rec.scuba tradition...
You've gone from one extreme of replying to the wrong message and attributing the comments to the wrong person to not even including the original message so no one knows which message you are replying to... Since you're obviously new to Google Groups, here's the technique that you would need to use:
Instead of just clicking on "Reply" at the bottom of the message, click on "Show Options" at the top of the message and then click on "Reply" on the new line that appears after the message headers but before the message body... This method will include the text of the message that you are replying to so that you can then edit it for just the portions of the message that your are responding... Top posting is frowned upon... Not snipping the irrelevent text is also frowned upon, but unfortunately, a lot of people are lazy and leave it in there...

Hey, he's out of deeperblue.net and using Google Groups... I guess this means that he taking his first steps out of the kiddie pool... Be careful, the water's kind of deep over here and the life preservers are rather negatively buoyant...

dazed and confuzzed - 21 Jul 2005 02:37 GMT > IF this is what you call deep water bro, i am starting to think the > only diving you do is in the bath tub Try posting the message you are replying to when you reply, especially on an old thread....
You must be using google.

Grumman-581 - 21 Jul 2005 05:24 GMT > What happened to the anti-elitist? Scott's bored with the newbie kid... He doesn't want to play anymore... The kid has an attitude, a lack of understanding, and to top it off, rather poor spelling and grammar... <grin> I guess not all of 'em are on WebTV...
Scott - 21 Jul 2005 06:33 GMT > > What happened to the anti-elitist? No one was talking to you, dickhead.
And, I will point out, I am not the one calling everyone in America that doesnt suck cock in LA stupid, you are.
Go sue someone, hire a wetback, back a spineless faggot traitor, talk about how great a filthy whore Hillary is, sh.t on the men and women that keep you free to be the dildo you are, or something equally magnificent (maybe parrot some more Michael Moore bullshit), and just shut the f.ck up or go on another vacation (but dont forget to call me a drunk when youre sucking up faggoty, overpriced umbrella drinks).
Youre bullshit is *really* boring.
Beyond boring.
Nova boring.
Like a friggin AMC Pacer boring.
Oh, and blow me in slomo, homo.
The new guy will be out long before you are.
If your balls ever drop, look me up (aint hard to find) and I'll drink your candied, LA a.s under the table.

The new kid has to earn my disdain, I dont give it away to just anyone..

He hasn't called me stupid. He's probably thought it, but he hasn't said it. :-)

He's probably thought it, but he hasn't said > it. :-) Exactly. So Scott, therefore, just called you someone who sucks cock in LA.
