Do you think SAA should be rescued?

My only thing is what happens to the airport ? Will we still be able to fly out of the country.
Thanks

my vote is privatise it like a shopping mall
else it will just sink into nothing like some african airports

SAA, and the many other state entities need to operate as 100% private entities. No point fixing it up when the same plague that destroyed it will return once there's more gravy.

Yeah, but the ANC won't let that happen.

So caught up in their communist dogma that they can't see the wood for the trees.

They missed that communism died in 1989 ...

The airport is ACSA, not SAA, so now that that is answered, you don't have to worry about it.

SOEs have a history of poor management and then going to government for a bailout, Gucci cap in hand.

What the BRP's are trying to do is right size SAA Group. In other words, have enough people and things to run a business at least at break even. Get rid of the excess.

It doesn't mean all employees and all divisions must close and cease to exist. Those jobs are still needed, but perhaps only 70% of them.

The capabilities are still required. But the remaining staff may need to be absorbed by other businesses.

Yeah, but the politicians and unions will keep on interfering until the End of Days (for SAA) !
