You guys kill me!

Can someone tell me how many black pilots are currently flying for SAA. I spent nearly eight hrs at Jo'berg and saw zero. Of this number that you come up with how many are Capts?

How many of you were complaining about how unfair things were 20 years ago? Not a one I'll bet! Its funny fair is only fair when you're in the seat of power.

10+ years of AA ain't gonna fix a century or so of systematic rascist practices, but its a start.

Do you honestly think "oh aparthied is over bygones. let's all compete on merit" is fair when the "indigenous" populace couldn't even hold jobs that would allow them or their children access to the very things you take for granted.

No you've had your leg up and you'd like to keep it that way. No one can blame you, but that certainly does make you a bit racist.
