You are happy to harp about your Kenyan Friends and colleagues, i haven't heard you mention any of your South African black pilot friends, that's probably you don't have any because you hate them as they got it in a silver platter and they are a threat to you.

Lets face it, black people can work until blood comes out of their ears, but they don't stand a chance in hell in making it in the highly competitive circles of SA Avaition if government does not intervene.

Most of you probably know this that even in your own white circrles, for anyone to get somewhere you have to have some connections in the Company. look for example how many Father&Son/Daughter combinations you have at SAA, co-incidence yeah right.

What connections would an aspirant black pilot would have that would be thicker than blood?

Give me a break you all know that this is not all about hard work and earning your place, it's about connections, circles, favours etc. Blacks don't go to pubs with whities or invite them for potjiekoses at their homes. They have zilch chances of ever making those connections.

The only way to get blacks employed in Aviation, is through Government intervention PERIOD!!! And even that is still met with hard hitting opposition and criticism.
