SAA bought 75% of Sun Air and closed it down within minutes. My thoughts are definitely with the many employees and their families affected by this. I can only hope that SAA honours their word and employs a good deal of Sun Air's award winning staff. The future of the cockpit crew would appear to be somewhat unclear, and many conflicting and unsubstantiated stories are floating around the industry at present. Time will tell once the initial dust has settled. The South African airline industry has proved to be very unforgiving in the past, and this is shown to be true again today. An unlucky and sad Friday the 13th indeed.
