The salaries and perks are what makes SAA stand out from the crowd, as well as good benefits. Things may change somewhat when SAA has to compete on an equal basis with all the other airlines in SA.
In my opinion, SAA is probably the only airline paying its pilots properly in South Africa, is not the SAA salaries and benefits that must come down, its the other airlines that must increase theres to world norms.....................not likely though
