As long as the Goverment dictates how SAA should be run and who should run it they must be prepared to pay for their lack of wisdom.
SAA has the potential to be profatable.
SAA's problem is that politcal interference takes precedent over commercial sense.
The pilots would run the company alot differently I promise you.
We can only dream about an Airline run by pilots!! This will make a lot of SAA's "super-efficient" managers very nervous.
