Well, in the mean time airlines will reduce flights by say 2-4%, on the least lucrative routes.
Up ticket prices because of the "crisis'' by say 10%.
And profits will jump.
Talking about Zim and South african pilots. Yes most of them will love to move the families to Oz, but there are hardly any pilots left in Zim - they have no fuel.....
The South African industry employs around 1500 ALTPL holders, many too old to move and the rest looking at Emirates, Ryanair and Cathay , while operating in a profesional environment already.
I don't think ANY South Africans will be moving just to be exploited.
