Let them declare bankruptcy. These crap pilots demand that taxpayers get screwed over more to pay for their luxuries. Personally i say lets do an SAA revolt. We have already stopped flying with SAA from a company aspect. Thats over 20 000 person flights a year. If other companies folloe suite we can close it and let it be taken control of by Branson.

Branson is not exactly flavor of the month right now what with taking photos of himself with other white people and no black ones

Hopefully this strike will be the final nail in the coffin for SAA. The sooner they collapse completely the sooner the country can be spared from this parasitic SOE.

The laughable part of SAA is that they call it a 'business'. In any normal sane World, this would be made insolvent and is not a business at all. Shut it down.

Problem is, what assets does the airline have, apart from perhaps landing slots at places like Heathrow?

Yeah. Best assets probably a teabag or two...

Would love to see hardball bargaining like this :

Unions : We want 8%
SAA : We give you 5.9%
Unions : No. 8%
SAA : We give you 5.5%
Unions : Nope. 8%
SAA : We give you 5%
Unions : 8%. err, wait, what?
SAA : Now it is 4.5%
Unions : Not fair. 7% and that's final.
SAA : 4%.
Unions : Ok, 5.9% then
SAA : Sorry, 3%, final.
Unions : Sh**. 3%?
SAA : Deal.

Good, let the strike go on, let the airline shut down, its a sh1tshow anyway

Surely you know, SAA was the pride of South Africa. But that was many many moons ago.

Heh, was rated as one of the best (and safest) back then. And SAA technical services was world class as well.

Now they're missing an entire engine from their stock cupboard!

edited to add - the figure for SAA got fudged real bad. Look 3-4 posts ahead where we suss it out.

Quantas = 32500 employees and 252 aircraft = 129 employees per aircraft

BA = 36832 employees and 238 aircraft = 154 employees per aircraft

SAA = 55500 employees and 58 aircraft = 957 employees per aircraft

Quantas = 32500 employees and 252 aircraft = 129 employees per aircraft

BA = 36832 employees and 238 aircraft = 154 employees per aircraft

SAA = 55500 employees and 58 aircraft = 957 employees per aircraft

If accurate that kind of says it all.
