Hey Stubbies
Sounds like you and I have travelled the same route. All those hard hours away from home living in sh*t holes (spend a week in a container once Hotel Congo) hoping that once we got our necessary hours we could also join the then proud elite. Then to come home and hear that afirmative action is now the new game. Luckily, we all new that it would spell the end for SAA and look now.
I am glad and proud that I DO NOT fly for SAA. Let them have it. It will all be over after 2010 anyway. My advice to any pilot in SA now doing the hard contract work, look overseas. The pilot shortage is here. The time has come to get what you deserve. Companies are scraping the bottom of the barrel. got phonecalls from companies all of a sudden who i sent cv's to more than a year ago and then they did not even have the decency to reply but now they want me to come and work there........
