SAA - : A Modern Parable

A Japanese company (Toyota) and a South African company (South African
Airways) decided to have a canoe race on the Vaal River...............Humiliated, SAA management laid off the rower for poor performance,
halted development of a new canoe, sold the paddles and cancelled all
capital investments for new equipment. The money saved was distributed
to executives as bonuses and the team outsourced to India.



Fantastic post Asianeagle, one of the best I have seen.

Even though it is a universal example, your post refelects SAA reality to the tee (hee hee).
