Gallo Images/Jacques Stander The SAA Pilots' Association says government should focus on mismanagement at the airline and not blame it for past ills. It was due to legal action by the association, for instance, that former SAA chair Dudu Myeni was declared a delinquent director. SAAPA believes by criticising them, the DPE and rescue practitioners want to take attention away from not dealing with the "real" causes of the airline's demise. Rather than blaming the pilots at South African Airways (SAA) for the financial troubles of the state-owned airline and the lack of aviation transformation, the Department of Public Enterprises (DPE) - SAA's shareholder - and the business rescue practitioners should focus on mismanagement at the airline and its subsidiary SAA Technical in the past.
