dear fluffy fan
its seems to me that your a SAA fan and good for you.
but if SAA funds a Low cost airline it will only do it to get rid of the comp.
They can do this cause the tax payers will pay for it.
As for the so called 30 year old airplane , come on you just got lucky to fly the new 737-800. or the scare bus. that the hard working South African is paying for.
I feel that every tax paying South Africa should fly SAA for free . they own the airline dont they.
The pilots in SAA want to make the same as a pilot with BA or lufthansa. Thats a joke. You cant compare the cost of living in SA to Europe.
And the rest airline in SA are very under paid. your correct there.
