Interviews appear to be ongoing.
Intake dates are not so readily available, but there seems to be a steady steam of new faces coming in, I guess between 4 and 8 each month, depending on course slots.
Rumour has it that the ex-cadet/PD pool is running short, so the pale males are in the running again.
Twotter, you must make your choice in life, and live with it, but at least apply, you can always leave if you don't like it.
Comair is a great place to work, 3-4 years to command if your hours are right when you join, and a good bunch of people to work with.
SAA offers more money all the way through, 10-14 years to command, a wider variety of planes to fly, but you do have to put up with everyone taking potshots at your employer, and you are "a number" in the system.
Lots of people are happy in both places, both companies loose crew to overseas airlines.
Good luck to all who apply.
