$727m = R 5.9 bilion (only) (again).
Plus the latest bailout, plus, plus, plus.........
Tired old story.
When the 737-800's and 747-400's were bought (by the taxpayer), it was claimed they would make it a more viable airline.
When the A319's and A340's were bought (by the taxpayer), it was claimed they would make it a more viable airline.
And when the cookie crumbles, those that work there will claim that it shouldn't have happened, that it was the best airline EVER, that the taxpayer should ALWAYS pay for having such a great airline, blah, blah, blah.
