JGI You have no idea of what you are talking about. Do you know what percentage of costs is attributed to Pilot Salaries versus Fuel, maintenance etc. It is not that SAA pilots are over paid but that you are under paid for what you are doing. Now do not get me wrong here mate , I do not work for SAA but I'm getting a bit fed up with people like you that are always looking at what others are getting paid and then bitch when you do not get the same, but at the same time will take a lower paying package or even pay for your own rating...bollocks mate
