My only experience of AC is that he is a rude and disorganised man. I never met him due to the above!
Over the years it seems that Civair have got a reputation as laughing stock. Unless of course you've done business with him in which case you probably don't see the funny side.
Whatever you think of AC what do you guys think about the feasibility of his business idea? From memory wasn't he proposing to use a 747 classic. With the price of oil going thru the roof I find that to be one very big reason why it couldn't work.
I'm still waiting for him to advertise the scenic route from CPT-STN in ZS-MUM
Just out of interest how are the Low cost guys coping in SA with the high fuel prices. I know SAA erroneously call it tax and add it to fare but Kulula and 1 time don't, yet they are flying a/c with P&W JT8D engines which surely (am I making big assumtions here) chow a lot more fuel than the CFM56 or V2500 engines? This has got to start affecting the bottom line or going on airfares surely?
