Kudos to Mr Gigaba.....he is probably the ONLY politician to EVER don a pilots uniform ! He is a proud supporter of the SAA brand.
Without his input the airline would have been sold of to a middle eastern carrier ....and that my fellow South Africans would leave us with an even greater loss of jobs. Exactly the same scenario Qantas finds itself in at the moment....
There has been a substantial effort on the part of management to improve service on all levels , including pilferage , although most of us don't agree with the way in which the anti-pilferage campaign was carried out....nevertheless they are trying. Pilot interviews are on the rise and experienced people have been hired. 3000 hours + ....most with jet experience.
