As a young unsuspecting charter pilot, I thought that to fly with SAA would be the height of my career. When I learned of their tactics in the industry and the 'double standards' of their operation, i rethought my plan. I find it very interesting that operators get nailed for any foul play, but SAA always comes out tops, looking like angels.
As a young unsuspecting passenger, even further back in my youth, I thought that SAA was fantastic, especially on the long haul routes. Even up to recently on the sector to Frankfurt, with the exception of the horrible layout of the aircraft, the flight was pleasant, the crew were friendly and the service was not all that bad. Come on boys, this is the best the continent has to offer in terms of big carriers, so lets support Air Botswana!
