I was the same era as Capt. "SANDY". I got rejected as I was not the "right profile" ( still don't know why they interviewed me as my skin colour and sex is obvious ). She got hired.
I taxi my company's B777-300's around the world in a safe manner, even in Mumbai, doing 180's on the short runway when RWY27 is closed for maintenance. At night and rainy, Very, very tight even in dry daylight..
One of my era applicants just returned a B737 that lost an engine, yip, fell of, safely to the airport in bad weather.
Maybe S.A.A. reap what they sowed.
O.K. Fluffy Fan, Beech bum and Jett Nut, shoot.....
