Association calls for skills audit of all managers and heads of department
“These managers are still making poor decisions at grave cost to the airline... The results of the ballot reaffirm our stance that the only way to save SAA and put it on a sustainable path is to ensure that a capable and experienced management team is put in place. It is therefore our view that the business rescue practitioners must prioritise a thorough investigation into the conduct of the current management team and take effective corrective action.
The pilots have also asked that a retired or active pilot be appointed to the board of SAA and that flight operations are restructured. “We understand that the process upon which the airline is embarking on will not be an easy one. Yet we are convinced that, if done properly, it can effectively address the ongoing and crippling effects of the years of mismanagement, and put the airline back on a financially stable and sustainable trajectory,” says the statement.
