Well said Divinehover, I see none of the SAA pilot bashers are responding to your statement, obviously not fitting into their "way of seeing things" and that all that is rotten in the state of SAA is to be laid at their (SAA pilots/ skygods /whatever)doorsteps.
This is exactly it - get the political meddelers out of SAA and then judge the operation- it would be a completely different story. The pilots/staff is doing exactly what all the detractors would do in the same situation - make the best of the situation - making hay while the ANC/goverment sun shines!
