Also worth noting that SAA's own business rescue plan sheltered them from a 750m rand settlement payment to Comair over the travel agent incentive scandal of a few years ago. Seems quite plausible that the company would have been in a very different position with that cash in hand. If I were Comair's investors, I'd be chasing some recourse rather than accepting this write-off.
