SAA pilots poised to go on strike over wages
The Citizen|December 05, 2024
South African Airways flights may be disrupted and thousands of passengers left stranded should planned industrial action by the carrier's pilot body go ahead this morning.
- Hein Kaiser

A source within the SAA pilot body confirmed that the SAA flight deck will down tools at 7am. Unconfirmed reports also suggest cabin crew may stage a simultaneous sympathy strike.

The planned action comes as a result of wage talks gone awry.

In a statement, SAA interim CEO John Lamola said the South African Airways Pilots Association (Saapa) demanded a 30% increase in pilot salaries in May this year, but subsequently reduced to 15.7% plus benefits.

In turn, SAA countered with salary increases of 8.46% that it would backdate to April.

In an internal communication to staff at SAA, seen by The Citizen, Lamola also said he was disappointed by the pending strike.
