Salaries at SAA

My initial post said that everybody at SAA is overpaid in comparison to the industry. I have no idea how the flight deck can ever justify their salaries. However, I am not saying they are the only ones.

I have every right to comment on what SAA earns, I am its only share holder. This is not an attack on my many friends at SAA. But -

I AM THE TAX PAYER, ALL SAA WORKS FOR ME.

If SAA were a private or a listed company, that would be different. But as its only share holder, I want a profit. And sadly, labour is supply and demand. Last time i looked, there are plenty of guys earning peanuts flying rubber dog do around. Also plenty of people queueing to be check- in staff , COE's etc.

I want my taxes to be spent on fixing roads, providing electricity and stopping crime.
