Yes, and these comments were made by the DEPT OF LABOUR for gods sake, not by Comair.
Very easy to take the legislation requiring crew to swim and collating it with the fact that the Govt (and owner of the opposition that is being killed by comair) deems them not to have the correct EE profile.
Cant you see that this is all cock-waving and posturing by a group (govt) under pressure from the free market economy that is supposed to be aviation in SA.
FFS people, you know when politicians are lying - because their lips are moving.
