I know this is not about SAX and I apologise for the hijack of the thread.
DJ what you say makes sense, and I believe its a good thing that Mango is giving the LC guys a run for there money, I believe SAA wants to expand into Africa and possibily some more International routes (once the whole restructure is complete) so Mango and SAA are not conflicting with eachother, if the Consultants say thats the way to go then so be it, I dont think there is much tolerance left for a SAA that is losing money and being subsidised by the tax payer.
As for SAAPA, yes its my opinion they have done some very dodgy deals, most notably the over 60's agreement which was sold to the pilot group on certain conditions, of which not one is being complied with. On that topic JetNut just a question when the whole Over 60's deal came up for a vote, did you vote? (both times) because 1/3 of the pilot group did not vote, most notably the most junior group.
