This is great news for SAA drivers - keep your seniority number at 'Airways' and take that job with EK,CX,
This is nothing new, been doing that for yrs. The last of the singapore lot only got back a few yrs ago.
But this is on a truly different scale. Take somebody that is largely useless, with a bad attitude and turn him into the 'newly advantaged'. There is some truly great guys in the cadet program, but this one can achive staggering heights due to political connections.
If you gonna 'fast track' somebody, get one of the good ones.
