Afriman, tell us how long did it take you to get where to you are today in aviation? if some government official were per chance surfing this forum tonight and decided to take action tommorrow morning, without first starting a commision of enquiry and another commision and another and so on and so on, as per your progress time scale how long would it take to reach some kind of equality?, 3/4/5 years I would think.

And do you really believe that ranting and raving on this forum, getting it to grow to 5 pages in just one day is actually gonna make a difference?

The profile of people on this forum, and on pprune in general are not your captains of the industry ie Roger Foster/Vernon Bricknel/Piet van Hoven/whoever is currently running SAA/SAX. These people that can actually make the difference, they are probably not even that interested in pilot issues, more worried about yields, prices, profit margins, answering to shareholders, to them we are all just "workers" or "employee numbers".

You are just getting your fellow "workers" and colleages all worked up and resentment towards you but no solution will come out of this, we can all agree, disagree and comiserate with you but we cannot effect the changes.

Thus my call to you bring this issue that you so strongly feel about out into the open, go see your "congressman" and ask for an official enquiry to be launched, thats the only way that your frustrations can be addressed.

Then we will see what is really going on here!
