This Mango operation seems to me the perfect vehicle to kick SAA and SAAPA in the b
s! Quantas and the Auzzie pilot unions have just had the wool pulled over their eyes by Jetstar! They are the low cost Quantas operation, and have taken a few of Emirates crew to operate their Airbus fleet. International operations will be boosted by B787's in the near future!
Before SAA wakes up, the domestic operations will be run by "lower" paid crew,e.g. Mango, working for a living! Will not be surprised if they start international operations - the only way to ensure profitability is to get rid of "old wood" pilots and top heavy management structures. Make the operations mean and lean, and money will be made by all.
