How many of these Black Managers sit on the selection board?
On the specific board that you are referring to - one black manager. But there were meetings at executive level about the suitability of those candidates.
Cadets cost more,?I think not! Offset by reduced salaries!
Please try and concentrate. I said their training costs more.
Also, you cannot use the salary difference without taking all the other facts into consideration. SAX has to run the DH8 FO pool fat to have FO's available for upgrade, because the cadets leave after two years and will never upgrade ar SAX. Futhermore, because of their longer training SAX has to employ two more training captains on that pool than would be required if the cadets were not there. Add to that the fact that you have to replace the cadets every two years with even more training costs. They are certainly not cheaper.
SAA scores.....defintely not over a beer.....I am more well informed than you think!
I am willing to bet that your "fact" is hearsay. You might trust your source, but I don't.
