The airline's CEO Greg Foran was onboard returning from a brief trip to Sydney and spent much of the flight serving food and drink to the passengers of the A321 flight, most of the passengers onboard seemingly unaware of who the additional crew member was. There were approximately 200 passengers onboard the flight which departed Sydney at 7pm local time, arriving in Auckland ahead of schedule just before midnight. One crew member who spoke during the flight said Foran had made a habit of being "hands-on" when flying, and the CEO had helped serve dinners on two other flights the crew member had worked on saying the bosses actions were "not for show and very much the real deal." While most of the ride was smooth, things did get a bit more turbulent when the meal service got to the back of the aircraft and only one of the three food options was left for those in the last few rows. One passenger seemingly unimpressed with the situation shared his disappointment with Foran, however, it wasn't clear if the passenger was aware his complaint was going right to the top. Foran had earlier met with ground staff at Sydney Airport including those at the airline's lounge where he spoke to members of staff for around an hour.

The aquarium has given $3000 to three non-profit organisations that support penguin conservation, to mark Sunday's World Penguin Day.
During the past year, keepers have been creating art- with the help of the King and Gentoo penguins- and selling their wares in the aquarium shop.
The team collected black pebbles previously used by Gentoo penguins to make nests to create miniature works of art.
They used the birds' discarded tail feathers as paintbrushes.
Even the penguins contributed to the cause by waddling through a puddle of non-toxic paint and strategically placed cardboard.
Staff then framed their paintings for sale.
Funds raised through the aquarium's penguin art project will be given to Wildlife Hospital, Penguin Rescue and NZ Bird Rescue Charitable Trust, which work to protect New Zealand's penguin populations.
"Our team is passionate about penguins and we’ve had so much fun creating our art over the last year," said penguin keeper Kristen Buckley.
"It's awesome to be able to raise awareness about the problems New Zealand's wild penguins are facing and doing it in a fun way."
The King and Gentoo penguins at the aquarium were ambassadors for their species, she said, inspiring visitors to learn more about them and find out how they can protect them in the wild.
The May-June issue of OurAuckland is out now, available online, delivered to homes across the region and available at transport hubs across Auckland.

We remember our Auckland veterans and fallen soldiers with their letters to friends and loved ones back home.
Here are letters from Michael Menzies, a Prisoner of War in Japan, to his friend Norm Ryder:
6/5/45
Dear Norm,
Still existing and anticipating a speedy reunion.
Appreciate your kind thoughts and wishes.
I often have the Queen St blues and a perpetual Waitemata thirst and occasionally a nicotine fit.
Received three of your letters and am anxiously
awaiting for more.
Your Affectionate Pal

Michael Menzies' letter to his relatives:
2/12/43
Dear Auntie Kate and Ange,
I received your very welcomed letter dated May 25th on Nov 25 th.
Although Jack has received a parcel from St Johns Association London and a very brief letter from Kathleen, this is the first I have received in twenty two long months.
I had given up all hope of getting mail so imagine the thrill it gave me.
There is only one thing I need Auntie and that is news, especially of Pat.
Please don’t keep it from me if anything has happened to him for that would only hurt me all the more.
I can’t help but think the worst has happened to him.
How is everyone in New Zealand?
I have made several radio broadcasts from here, did you hear any of them?
Of course I know you’ll understand when I tell you that our correspondence is limited in more ways than one.
Please don’t send money as you suggested, but a few packs of cigarettes, gum, and a photo would be very welcome.
Apart from a few attacks of asthma Jack is very well and sends his love to all.
I assure you Auntie that you have no need to worry so much over Jack or myself as we are both together which makes it much easier on me and under the circumstances the treatment is fair enough.
There are many things I want to ask you and tell you but unfortunately they will have to wait until peace has been restored once more to this mad world.
Well auntie I sincerely hope this letter finds you in the very best of health and
Along with it I send the seasons greetings and all my love.
Lots and lots of love.
