Where were you guys 20 years ago when the Air Force trained nobody but white males to fly ? Nobody complained then....

That too was a sponsored flying training program for a priviliged few.

And so, now a large majority of senior captains at SAA are ex-SAAF. Earning over 1.5 million a year...sending their kids to the best schools and eventually getting them into an airline career too (be it even Comair, Kulula etc.),and so on and so on, this is a chainlink process that will continue for generations.

How do other deserving South Africans start their chain of events for their families, if they never had an opportunity to get even one foot in the door ? Do you see a dilemma. Any suggestions.
