The fact that SAA gets an annual bail out is proof that the other national airlines are better run. "Ish sorry" has its rightfull place. The bettr run airlines get by competativly and take their deserved share in the market.
Although many of us would like to fly the equipment, the politics may not be worth it at the end.
I do certainly hope that the other airlines apply AA or BEC cautiously and give us pilots a gap for job satisfaction.
Let SAA carry the can.
