BA Admits to Price Fixing

Found this on rumours and news section, looks like they really got caught with their pants down and got a fine that really makes the eyes water!

Well, well. Wonder if that could happen here in SA. Oh no, of course not, the state owns 3 airlines itself. They dont have to fix fares, they dont need to make a profit.

Avi8tor,
What a dim view of your country's airline. Do you have a bone to pick or a score to settle? Who would you rather owned SAA & Co?

Just check any one of AV8's posts and I think you'll see he has a severe dose of both of the above!
Wonder how many cv's he's had at SAA over the years?

Play ground mentality

Sorry Guys, when ppl say things your guys dont wanna hear, you end up with a play ground mentality. I have NO score to settle with SAA, SAX or Mango. I have an interest in a healthy Airline industry in SA.

Darn right I have a dim view of the national carrier. Its run like a 2nd rate french bistro. And as its only share holder, I have EVERY right to say so. The flag carrier concept is a Pss pot 3rd world phenomenon.

Don't think it takes a Nobel Prize in Economics to figure out that if the state runs 3 airlines at a HUGE loss, it leaves the rest of the industry suffering.

Only one solution guys......

Get the state out of airlines, sell or list them on the stock exchange. Let market forces win out.

P.S. and for the record, 2 CV's. Both in the mid '90's.

I rest my case...play ground stuff. If you can't have engage in healthy debate, keep off forums that incourage it.

Av8,
How did the C.Vs go? Would you relish another attempt? Am sure the FC still get paid on time despite the slump.
Would you still cry wolf if you were on board?

Cheer up mate. TIA- This is Africa.

Careful,careful.What do you mean by after all this is Africa?We are all earning a living within that continent so lets show some respect,okay?
I agree with AV8.African forum no longer sticks to debates but takes it to a mud slinging dimension of absoloutely no use to our industry.Nuff said.
