Nuff sed

I think we are all missing the underlying problem here.

The whole SAA sponsered Cadet training scheme is an aboration. If MR Cry Baby, was realy from a disadvantaged home, how could he ever find the conditions at 43 not to his standards, higenic, religious, or other.
If he was so disadvantaged, how did his flying "career" managed to go from strenth to strenth at Virginia?

I personally think they should stop wasting the passengers, and the tax payers money and stop this idiotic idea that they need to train pilots. There's to many Com qualified pilots in South Africa!

The worst of it all is that, they dont go job hunting like the rest of the mere mortals, SAA get them placed with general aviation companies by promising the Company directors all kinds of benifits like free tickets for the Directors, Discounted tickets for the comany etc etc. Thus saturating the hiring market, with doubly advantaged young pilots that think the whole industry owes them a position, further training etc. because they are SAA cadets.
SAA if you want to train them, keep them out of the bloody market. The market doesnt need them. Appparently you do. Keep them.
Back to you Mr Crybaby, stop whining, take responsibily, stop wasting money on flying lessons, go to University, get a degree and become a lawyer. The paper work will suite you.
