SAA in Trouble

Postby The Agent » Tue Jan 30, 2007 8:06 pm

So how do you guys feel should the govt be allowed to use tax payers money to bail them out once more?

Me I say no and also get rid of Mango as it costs the taxpayer R 3m per week and all the info on news 24.

SAA currently my last choice of local or international carrier. It's bull that they get bailed out - what incentive is there for them to actually do something about their pathetic service levels and attitude twds their customers - NIL.

My BIG question is why must the govt help SAA to close the doors on fair competition of other airlines, this is the part that is not fair. Everyother airline that has been sunk in the past is or has been through SAA.

Yip its easy to say SAA is so freaken "sleg" and all that , but just remember you have a few guys / girls working their asses off, and dont get anywhere. Its also easy to say that they need to leave SAA and go somewhere ells. Well that same "DUDE" is white and will NEVER get a job outside again. I say to start off, fire ALL the managers and people that does NOTHING constructife in this company. ALso look at the spending of the remaining people and O JA , lets not forget the parties. And YES i do have 2 brothers working their and i know what is going on

That is me

I wonna be a SAA Consultant.

Elliminate any deficit by selling the last of the paid off assets. (5 % of that will be OK for me).
Recall all aeiries out on hire.
Stop paying all the other consultants besides me. :lol:
