Your post is by far the most non-biased factual piece of intellect I have read in a while.
SAA is an awesome company to fly for. My colleges and i are fortunate to work for such an organisation albeit it's political nature. I think SAA is the only airline in the world were 98% of the pilots are happy.
Although SAA is government run ultimately , it has been the most "on-time" carrier in SA. A passenger flying on SAA can be assured of their travel plans (not so sure about their baggage though LOL) and Aircraft dispatch reliability.
I hope this cadet programme race crap is sorted out ASAP and does little to tarnish what's left of SAA's credibility.
