Heard a rumour about SAA's new crew requirements/regulations due to Star Alliance...

Any takers?

Tell us the rumour, and we can then try to confirm it for you.

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?

That rumour has been doing the rounds at SAA for a while as well. We hear it as Star require 2 full days off on a layover, the result will be the same.

Don't expect sudden changes in our crew staffing, our crew manager is leaving end of next month, and the powers-that-be have yet to advertise the post, never mind start training somebody to see into the crystal ball.

Yes, the light at the end of this tunnel is the 3:45 gautrain from Tswane!
