B Sousa - your points well noted and quite right in most respects.I think many had hoped that a certain B727 now permanently resident at HRE was going to adjust the Status Quo in Zim !. However, if I may;
Firstly, some Zimbabwean aviators (Asian,white,black or otherwise have nowhere else to go - a Zimmy passport is a bit like a used Tube Ticket at the moment) so whatever work created in Zim, keeps our friends and colleagues in a job. The kind of jobs aviators do there are unlikely to restore prosperity as the operators are mostly foreign registered or owned, limiting the inflow to Zim (like we had in Kenya in the past).
Secondly - how are you so sure I am white ?
BACARDI & VIKING - there is a guy called Luis Kling that seems to know more than most about the whole operation. I believe they are contracting to Zim exporter Produco (HRE +263-4-575972) but then also heard Produco had sold up.Hope this helps.
