Well stated fluffyfan
I think DJ and his cronies have finally lost the plot completely, the mass hysteria of incompetent top management is spreading like an infectious virus, which can only be contained through invasive surgery, i.e. cutting out this cancer with a deft incision.
The solution, so as to reach the unrealistic targets they've set themselves is to close down the "second oldest" airline in the world. The 744 fleet will be grounded soon, so why not ground the 737's, 340's and 319's. Then the company can focus on running their core businesses: HR, Finance, Law and Marketing.
Or, admit failure and recoup what's left of the company by relieving themselves of current duty and finding competent, knowledgeable management as a replacement.
The only people in management who actually have the exprience to run this airline (and the required aviation knowledge) are the chief pilot and VP flight ops. But they are being dragged down by clueless top management. ....retrench 225 pilots? Now that's funny.
Emirates must be smiling....

Yes, it seems as if DJ has finally nailed his colours to the flag pole.
Now as this a rumour net work, can somebody confirm the rumour that SAA has gone to Emirates to discuss the impending mass exodus.
It's quite disturbing to see F/O's brushing up on "interview" topics etc. instead of reading FHM or something in that line.

Well from a reliable source......over 300 hits from SAA crew on a popular aviation related job site.
As I said they may have started something they can not stop, I am only still living in this miserably run country because of the job at SAA, why else would I pay 40+ % tax, which gives me no education for my kids, no law and order, no medical , no roads, no reliable electricity, no reliable water....no
all.
The Actuator is correct in his previous statements, pilots at Comair, 1time, Nationwide, Airlink, Sax are no longer interested in SAA and I have heard this from my mates working in those companies, if given the offer they may come and get a rating but the general feeling is that SAA is doomed, perhaps if the management at SAA was not so short sighted they would knotice the world wide expansion of the airline industry and the severe shortage of skilled pilots, perhaps this would warn them of the possible problems they are creating for themselves regarding SAA's future, but as usual with SAA management it will be crisis management they will only realise the true value of there pilot stock when they dont have it anymore.
