Title: New Airline
Post by: Diana Rudd (Boehme) on June 30, 2011, 07:19:01 AM
I'm was having a good chuckle while listening Cape Talk this morning. Apparently are Taxi Industry wants to open a low cost airline by the end of November...dinkum.Starting Jo'burg to Durban then to Bisho then to Cape Town. Anyway the comments that flew around this morning: Are the taxi drivers going to think.. geez I can drive a Quantum with a spanner....let me fly a plane. Are they going to strike and stop the other airlines boarding because they taking bussiness away from them. Imagine chickens and coffins tied to the top of the plane.
Just my start to the day. Good to start with a chuckle.

I shudder in fear...  I've seen how they drive and cut in in front of you.... how would they do that kind of "driving" in the air?  Cut in front of another plane - so close you cant see the tail wings?

Hmmm  -- they way they will operate will start with a strike on the first day ..  the pilot's complot against not getting paid upfront some danger pay.
