Dear four engine jock
but if SAA funds a Low cost airline it will only do it to get rid of the comp.
True Story...thats why I said I am against such an Idea, plus you dont give the LCC management enough credit, current SAA management could not organise a piss up in a brewery never mind start a LCC that would be effective against the current operators.........they will probably make it a BEE enterprise and all the crap that goes with that rather than just listening to the customer like the others have done.
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.
Another true story, I did get lucky
I feel that every tax paying South Africa should fly SAA for free . they own the airline dont they.
Ok well I will go for that, but also would like free electricity, water, medical, education, fuel, telephone calls, road travel...ie no more tolls etc I am sure there must be many more, because we are all tax payers and we own these services too dont we??
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.
A common misconception, and I did try to explain in my last post that its not that simple, its a huge formula that takes a whole bunch of things into account, most importantly disposable income, ie after all costs of living.....and I think it would be safe to say that SAA is behind the rest of the world.
