like most things in big companies things happen if they are championed by the most influential people.
Who are these "influential people" ??
They are the old-timers now occupying the left seat of the orange -800's. They screwed SAA over with the LCC concept (which has blatantly excluded SAA pilots) so as to line their own eroded pension funds, whilst clueless management (DJ included) followed along without an inkling of the consequences.
Mango was an ideal opportunity for SAA management to spread the parastatal burden of EE. But now its the guys who joined the SAA seniority system in the 1970's who are benefitting
