enough already
What an irritating thread, made more so by the amount of replies it has recieved (yes I know I am just adding another one).
MusaQ, one of the lessons I learn't early on in aviation as well as in life is that you will be faced by many trials. If you can't get past it then you will remain in a rut. You need to grow up, rise above the situation and get on with your life and your career.
This issue with regards to your treatment at 43 should be taken up with the correct authorities, in this case your sponsors. I doubt very much that they would happily write off the money they have already invested in you without questioning your wash-out from 43. I also believe they have a moral obligation to investigate your allegations. Have they done so at all or are they content with the status quo? You have a right to demand an explanation from them, if they are prepared to listen to you.
I also doubt that other airlines would send cadets to 43 if such conditions existed and was a policy of the school.
However, it is very possible you encountered racialistic undertones, from an individual or individuals. Those sort of people will always exist in society and when the descrimination is not across the colour bar it is called tribalism, of which I am sure you are more familiar. My advice once again is to put it behind you and enjoy the company of fellow pilots who accept you for what you have achieved and who you are.
If, at this point you are still unhappy, I suggest you contact Carte Blanche, it is the kind of expose' they would love to sink their teeth into and I am sure it will put an end to the rumours, allegations, and insinuations and, as you said, speak the truth.
And as for Mkenya, I hope the simulator training is going well.
