Consumers - You gotta love Us
In no means do I condone or applaude the actions of Mango, but if you consider the following, it makes me smile:
For R169 you can not even drive to Cape Town (not even on a Vespa), that is apart from the fact that if you tried it with your ever efficient modern day Turbo Charged Diesel vehicle, it would still take you 12hrs+.
Now delay these consumers for half-an-hour, or even 4 hrs, suddenly they "regret" the whole decision to choose Mango etc etc.
Please man, stop this cheap Journalistic BS and start doing the job of real Journalists. It is the same apathy that has resulted in SA having 8 Springbok Rugby Coaches in almost as many years...
No wonder the O'Leary's of this world (aka Ryanair), has turned around and said:
"You pay peanuts for your tickets, so Shut-up or P*ss off!"
(And that is one of the most profitable Airlines - if not the - in the World today)
For the Journalists reading this post - I am in no way affiliated with Mango and no, nor are any of my "Family" members.

A quick lesson in L.C.C.’s. If 5% of the pax paid for the tickets near the price you mentioned it would be very surprising.
We shopped around for Joburg – Cape Town return tickets on very short notice a month ago. Surprise surprise S.A.A. was the cheapest.
Had 3 friends travelling on 3 different flights with Mango and unfortunately all had bad experience for different reasons.
We all love aviation, but I think it is just a sad reality that it has just become a commodity , we are just another form of taxi service to the public.

Far as I know the guys are not looking right now, think situation will change in a few of months when another 20 or so crew will be needed. It all depends when the next batch of aircraft come trough.

Flew Mango from CPT recently ... just after take-off heard the pilot confirm the heading (presumably intended for ATC) over the P/A system. Could have sworn he used Tulco-xxx as the call sign
