It is very true that SAA is good if you want to live in SA, but I do think that if you want to progress alot faster, then EK is best and maybe Cathay 2nd choice. As for SAA - what is progression?
SA used to be a lovely country to live in. Now it is a lovely place for holidays. At least then you are only exposed to the terrible crime for short periods and not all the time.
Statistics show that it is just a matter of time before it happens to YOU and ME. And it is not getting better. Especially if your head of Safety and Security thinks all is cool.......
Anyway...live''s about choices......
