if a person from another country comes to sa, and pays to do the training here, ie. cpl/atpl/ir/me, should that country not allow him/her to work for a south african company outside the borders of sa?
i agree that each country should protect their own pilots within their borders.
i have done both the sa licence and european one and in my personal opinion there are many more pilots in sa who have had their parents just fork out the money for training straight after they leave school, and just due to the cost of training in europe it is failry uncommon to hear of such stories, although obviously there are...but my point being, that maybe some investigation should be done by both parents and potential 'wannabes' with regards to how the industry works and what the realistic chance of getting a job with 200 hours is...
perhaps the sa caa should put a yearly quota on how many people can train, obviously flight schools would be against such a scheme, but it may reduce the heartache of many, and keep $1000 a month jobs to a minimum.
