I have realised, over the years of Pprune-ing, that an SAA pilot is, according to those who are not in SAA, an overpaid, underworked recipient of some kind of nepotism, who, if not working for SAA would be incapable of holding down a "real" job, mainly because he battles to tie his own shoelaces in the morning.
At the same time, many of the people most interested in SAA, what it pays it's pilots, and how much money it loses, are normally people who do not work for SAA, some have tried to get in, but were turned down (for any of a myriad of reasons), others never even tried, others feel that SAA was responsible for the closures of Sunair, Pheonix, Bopair etc.
It stikes me that the people who should be worrying about SAA, are having to take flak from a bunch of unsuccessful wannabes, and other assorted no-hopers.
So I will enjoy watching the vitirol which shall follow this posting, for it is time to worry about only what you can influence, and I know that I cannot influence the minds of those whose psyche bears a grudge.
