Hear Hear. Nugpot – that’s a fair assessment of Aviation in SA both past and present.
Government and the SAA must be ready invest heavily in the PD to address the in balance instead of wasting precious airline’s funds carting around the top man in a helicopter because he can’t handle, that lovely slow morning commute to work every day and other wasteful ventures being dreamt up.
The presently advantaged (PA’s) will just have to accept, that this situation will be in the best interest of SA and SAA for now. It’s unfortunate that hard working white folks trying to qualify for those jobs too will also have to put up with it and many other policies.
If it take’s running twice the number of cadet courses to meet the AA requirements so be it. I have no idea what the situation is in the training schools in SA these days, at least I know there are spaces available, as some foreign student from West Africa are training there at the mo.
