Humour?
Must say your humour is killing me..
Here's the thing - if it is a rumour but it is left open-ended, then possibly someone whoe REALLY knows would respond.
If the story is told, then all the "Think they Knows..." are on the bandwagon. Anyway..
According to the Rumour: STAR Alliance requires layovers on International Flights to be minimum 5 days. Thus, SAA apparently need to start employing another 160 odd Crews.
Don't quote me - I'd also like to know if this could be true?
