Pathetic seats on SAA

Last Monday I flew economy class on SAA's 747-400 (ZS-SAY).

I flew in it from Johannesburg to Cape Town . Thank goodness it was only a 2 hour flight!!
I have NEVER experienced such little leg space on any other airline in the world!!
How people can fly to London and the USA in that aircraft is just mind boggling!!
In fact, I think its close to criminal to sell someone a seat like that!!
If the person in front of you reclines just a bit, one can not even read a magazine in the little space between the two seats!
I flew back on a 737-800, and that little aeroplane had MORE legroom than the 747-400!!

I can now understand why SAA is making such huge losses, because I shall NEVER fly with them overseas!

Come on SAA, send some of your management (that never fly economy) to go and feel what it feels like to sit in economy class on the 747-400, ZA-SAY !!!
