Dont think the new Chairman of the Board is going to be any good if you take his track record at SAA into account. Global Pax Servies is in total dissarray after that clown had a go at running it- he left before they had time to fire his ass. He was totally incapable of working with the airlines's suppliers - particularly Equity Aviation who seem to think its ok for their staff to steal/pilfer anything of value from passengers baggage. Net result is the clown leaves- gets the cushy assignment at the CAA- the even bigger fool who was his 2IC sees that his benefactor is legging it for cover and so also resigns and lands a plum job at......Equity Aviation! perhaps there was a reason he never acted against them?
Sorry back to the new Chairman, he also had his ass kicked out of another airline before joining SAA- and Im not talking about Lesotho Airways here! But I see that the 2 owners of that particular carrier have seen the error of their ways (now that he is the Chairman of the CAA!) and have seen fit to appoint him as the Chairman of one of their other Companies- now is that not a conflict of interest?
Eich another day in Afrika!
