Fair enough mate, just got a bit irritated with that post. Most of us have paid our dues. I've been there done that too, took me 10 years to get to the top. Just your good fortune that you happen to fly for Spoories. I can promise you that if i ever got a gap to go, i wouldn't hesitate as i'm sure most of the other posters here would too.
I suppose that's just the nature of the beast you guys are saddled with most of the time. Not that i condone what SAA wanna do, i think they should go it on their own like the rest of the airlines have to. Only fair i think. You guys work there, it's not your fault you have it so good. Anyways good luck.
Safe flying
