In this instance I also have heard wind of the "nasty snippet" and it is indeed nasty if true and
Al B's note advising caution is indeed warranted I believe.

I am not doubting his experience - and I respect AI B's knowledge as he has demonstrated with excellent posts time and again - I just question the value of putting a very unclear post in the thread - as it stands 'those in the know' ( which appears to be two of you ) are fine but the rest of us are left wondering what exactly he means - it could be anything - ranging from something as minor as "reservations for SA flights must be created on/after 10 April" to something as major as "SA government has belatedly decided to veto SAs Star membership" in the absence of any clear info we are left to speculate with no real idea of what is being hinted at and I find that intensely frustrating .
