SAA pilots up in arms over Zuks Ramasia appointment
Johannesburg - The SA Airways Pilots Association threatened strike action over recent developments at the airline, including the appointment of 'inexperienced' Zuks Ramasia as interim CEO.
"The simple truth is that SAA will not survive unless critical operational and technical deficiencies are immediately addressed by a competent leadership team. The union said it had written to the SAA board to express its dismay at the appointment of Ramasia and the retention of SAA's underperforming management team. "Significantly, we are canvassing SAAPA members on the appropriate action to take. At this stage, we cannot rule out embarking on lawful industrial action - for the first time in our 80-year history - to force the necessary changes at SAA.
SAAPA added that it had made it clear to the board and the government, "that we will not accept the scapegoating of pilots that became prevalent in the Dudu Myeni era.
