       Well from what I have heard it is going very well. We will only
       know when the next aircraft is on line. I am told it still has
       not arrived.

       have approx 20 pilots for 1 a/c at the moment.

       So the feeling is good?
       I may be the odd one out, but the durban guys, cant even play
       rugby, how are they going to keep an airline operating,
       hehehehe
       Lets see I am open to negotiation,

       On the rugby I agree, ;D
       But airline I will have to disagree, my money is on a good
       company starting up and I believe the more compitition, the
       better the end product, and more work available.
       so I am all go Velvet!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

       The problem with more compition is that there is only so much
       demand which forces airlines to reduce tickets prices etc. When
       they start reducing ticket prices you always have to wonder
       where they are going to save, maintenance, staff cutting etc.
       There are many places for an airline to cut costs but is it
       always for the better.

       I agree with you on the cutting of cost, and that it usually end
       up being the staff taking the knock,
       but why would a company then introduce new routes and more
       flights and work their equipment and staff to breaking limits,
       if there is no request for it?
       Therefore, we operate to serve the public but 85% of the time we
       cant deliver ontime every time departures because of equipment,
       staff, stress etc.....
       What is the use of promises if you can't deliver?
       This is my argument, Let the small companies start up and create
       competition, maybe then the RTC companies will start thinking
       out the box and become creative rather than competitive?
