Aha, the race card, that took a while. Lets play!

And while we are at it, please explain why I need help?

I suggested bringing the salaries inline with market standard - to cut costs. Or get rid of the dead wood. This is international standard practice when an airline cannot make enough profit to keep on operating. I understand that its not a priority for SAA to have to make a profit, and that is on par with an unemployed teenage mother that is having her fifth baby in order to gain another R200 childcare grant. On some twisted pre-evolutionary level, that is perhaps a logical way to approach things - but not in the real world.

It's still going to get good at SAA over the next few years. Much excitemunt awaits.

Its easy to be arrogant when you don't have to show a profit, with another bailout hidden behind every door. But like all fairy tales, there is a definite ending. Bring on the brothers Grimm!
