B Sousa, check out the thread 1 Time engine out that'll explain it.
If the journos don't want to make a big deal out of SAA tech problems then I will
The other day passengers were gripped in a struggle for their lives when an SAA a/c bound for Mauritius was in danger of plunging into the ocean due to technical problems.
SAA were not available for comment, but many one passenger said, "It was the scariest moment of my life, I thought I was going to die. We heard a soft bang and then the captain said that we would be returning to joburg, where we would die on landing. He told us to call our loved ones and say our goodbyes."
Is SAA cutting costs and safety to try compete with the new low cost airlines that are doing so well? Only the future will tell.
The end (and they didn't live happily ever after)
Wonder which newspaper is going to offer me a job
