Jaaaaa! Wondered when Uncle Vernon's " I WILL SERVICE THEM MYSELF AT THE LOWEST COST" attitude would come back to bite him in the a@#$e!

Sooner than I thought! Well done to the crew.

It seems as if ENGINE SEVERE DAMAGE/SEPARATION checklist does deserve a place in the QRH. Especially if it was serviced at Lanseria

What does concern me more about this episode, is that I can not really recommend an airline to travel on in SA to anyone! Maybe BA Comair, but, only just. Give the rest a wide miss! I have to travel to George on a regular basis, and the choice of SAX, Khulula, Nationwide and BA has been reduced considerably.

SAX - you never know what old wreck you are going to end up on.
Khulula - so many Emergency Descends due to pressurization problems, they are exempt from doing it in the simulator.
Nationwide - Not keen on flying on genuine singles thank you.
BA - lets wait and see.

Wonder what role CAA can play to ensure that ourskies remain safe, airports remain open, and the industry does not slide into "Nigeria" mode. Ooops, I forgot, we are already there!
