Level playing field???????? Then why doesn't Comair implement BEE as per the laws of the land.
DH and others. Don't bother replying to the anti-SAA trolls. These guys come up with the same *@#$ every time SAA gets mentioned (good or bad). NOTHING they say (irrespective of the number of times they say it) will ever make a difference to SAA, it's employees, its fleet, or the fruit vendor near the airport.
If bashing SAA gives them a sense of meaning and fulfilment then let them to their hearts content. Nothing said on PPRUNE, AfricaAviation, AVCOM etc. will ever have an effect on our lives.
