Starcrest, so you're saying it's OK to bring in foreigners to do those jobs while qualified South Africans are excluded because of the colour of their skin? I think this was tried before and deemed to be a failure...
Last I looked two wrongs still didn't make a right.
By all means, encourage PDIs to participate and even pave the way for them to a certain extent but to blatantly discriminate against a sector of the population on the grounds of race is wrong and that's what's happening in this case. The barrier to entry for a white male at SAA is almost insurmountable, even in the face of crew shortages.
