South African Black Pilots
So what was it like to be black and a pilot during the apartheid regime in South Africa.
Did black pilots exist during that era, could you train to be a pilot in SA, if they did were they offered jobs in the airlines and if they were offered jobs, how were they treated by their fellow white colleagues?
Are their a good number of black pilots flying in SAA?
It would be interesting to get some response here after observing the current situation in SAA and the views and opinions of so many of the lads flying in SAA.
Here in Nigeria the issue of being black and a pilot has never been an issue, as far as I know Nigerian pilots have been flying for sometime now, even during the fifties we had guys sent to the UK for flight training et al and have kept that image going till today.
Thanks
