Shrike200, my point exactly.
Look, it's not your fault that you work for SAA, and I can understand that it is a bit of an emotional sore point to be told that your (very lucrative) employer should either be sold off or shut down, but in the bigger picture it is what is best for this country: a small step in the right direction.
You don't have to like the idea at all, hence why you tell us that your training standards are so fantastic: a point I cannot contest, but sadly an irrelevant point once again. An airline doesn't become financially viable only because its crews are well trained.
Please do not attempt to defend the indefensible by referring to jealousy, lack of ambition etc. Those statements do not change the facts, which happen to be that SAA is a parastatal disaster sucking my tax money like so many other government departments, without actually giving me any service. I have to spend some more money to get that...which is kind of rich since I have paid for it already.
