What is a joke at the moment is this story of having to get a clearance everytime you want to fly. There are so many different versions of what needs to be done and where that there is total confusion. We were told at a conference by a Brigadier General from the SAAF that pilots and pax must be cleared for each flight. but when you call they are not interested in the pax. also the SAP office at lanseria also has demanded from some flights that they must get clearance from him only. stuff the airforce .
ATC shortages will not be the only problem next year. I am sure that the taxi war will be very interesting as well as the construction industry strikes . Cosatu has thrown its weight against the government so there is a lot more that can make us the laughing stock of the world.
And of course what will happen if FIFA ride rough shod over South African laws and ban the VUVUZELA. They seem to be able to make the government do as they please so .........................
