My point all the long has been that state run airlines in free markets do not work and moreover are immoral. The only lesson from history is that even in spite of unfair advantages in the market place they still fail due to a variety of issues
Although it is easier to prove that SAA is to all intents and purposes a liability, given that SAX is a seperate entity albeit within Transnet it is easy to make a few statements like I have done and then take them out of context.
The question I have is this for those of you getting shirty with me regarding SAX - if the SA government has a policy of privatisation which it says it does, then why, if SAX is as healthy as you all believe it is, is it not floated on the stock market?
