Re: Airlink news
South Africa actually has a very robust, largely independent judiciary. The wheel does turn, albeit slowly, when it comes to court cases. I'd be interested to know on what grounds Link lost this case, and if it wasn't down to a technicality during the business rescue process.

I disagree . I think South Africa's judicial system is extremely convoluted .
You only have to try and follow some of the politico / corruption trials going on to see what I would call a miscarriage of justice - Jacob for one just continues to manipulate the courts at will .
No sorry - the legal profession leaves me reaching for a paper bag.

Re: Airlink news
Agree largely in part here, it seems it comes down to money and who you know. Just because it's a law, doesn't mean it's justice...Volo wrote: ↑Thu Aug 03, 2023 7:39 pm.....................Burner wrote: ↑Thu Aug 03, 2023 5:36 pm South Africa actually has a very robust, largely independent judiciary.

Re: Airlink news
I tend to agree with you... I find his reviews a little over the top sometimes. However some of the things he pointed out, were legitimately embarrassing. Zero excuse for rubbish lying around an aircraft when you board and disinterested check in staff. He rambles on how galleys by law need to be crewed at all times.. which is obviously totally incorrect. Definitely not correct that the cabin crew spent a large portion of the flight all huddled in the back galley. But it's hilarious how he then spins it into "Airlink doesn't care about safety".Airplaneguy9 wrote: ↑Sat Aug 05, 2023 4:26 pm The things I want to say about Josh Cahill could easily fill a library!
Definitely some feedback for Airlink in this video, diluted with a lot of hyped up influencer click bait.

Re: Airlink news
Seriously who is this Josh Cahill guy? What background does he have, or is he just a whiny little youtuber? Because all he does is trash-talk every airline he flies on! The guy should be banned!

Re: Airlink news
Now I know there is some controversies about his airline reviews, but this is typical South African attitude.
Let's see the responses.

Re: Airlink news
I stopped watching this guys videos a long time ago.
He loves to create 'clickbait' videos and he exaggerrates errors to a ridiculous extent.
I agree the airlines should ban him.

Re: Airlink news
p.s. I'm currently in Cyprus
I flew Turkish from Jhb.
I could have pointed out plenty of the same facts about my flight -
(the cabin crew ignored us most of the time, food terrible, previous pax rubbish in the seat pocket, not enough water, cabin temp way too hot, etc.)
but I would not venture to say they made the flight unsafe in any way.
Lets be real, airline flying is not what it used to be - we dont dress up to fly anymore and leg room is a bonus.
no one cares much about economy pax. (Business is where the money is)
So for your summer holiday flight....I say make the best of it and enjoy the view.

Re: Airlink news
Well then you clearly don't follow the world news. This is entirely how justice works in the US, UK etc. Ours actually is more independent and functioning than those two often are these days.

Re: Airlink news
The judgement is a public document so its rationale is available for all to see. Seems pretty open and shut, largely agreed with the High Court judgement.
Its reportable so law students will be learning from Airlinks loss for years to come.

Re: Airlink news
I watched a few of his videos. He comes off as very unlikeable. Pretty much always finding something to complain about.
His reviews on Qatar were bought by the airline.
In the battle between aeroplanes and the ground. The ground has yet to lose.
Aviation would be great, if it wouldn't be for passengers.

Re: Airlink news
Joker,
It is his earning model to "find" stuff to complain about.
A video of how nice and efficient everything is going - is bad clickbait.
And the attitude is part of the play ...
Modern times - social media .....
