KQ only hires Kenyan's as stated in following threads. Once flew with an all female crew (front and back) - GREAT airline - super friendly staff, very accomodating, SAA STINKS!!!!! I have such bad service on that Airline I avoid them at all costs!!
Stick with KQ - upgrading fleet as well - new livery and has won awards for best airline - also they MAKE money and don't squeeze "Head Office" for more to prop it up!! Probably one of if not the only one of Africa's Airline success stories!
