And you Mr. Sleuth are NOT just looking for a story........you really really do have the interests of the pilots and aviation safety at heart........and you really really are an expert on aviation and qualified to report on this.......really really......and you know what.....I saw the tooth fairy last night........NO........really really....
As Accident Prawn correctly noted I am from South Africa and have nothing whatsoever to do with the said LoCo operator/s.....but here is what I do know....... the press do not have our interests at heart........just their own.....and anything that sounds like scary to the public is good copy......and sniffs of issues in aviation that relate to safety etc is the pot at the end of the rainbow. Just look at the tone and quality (specifically the lack thereof) of ALL reports in the press (any form thereof) related to aviation if you doubt what I am saying
There are other much better ways to resolve these problems....
Anything you say can and will be used against you.......and your industry
