Given that some of the SA flight ops management are incapable of organising a p1ssup in a brewery, I hardly think that there's any possibility of any 'pilot blacklist' becoming mainstream or being taken seriously.

Besides, there are many well documanted examples of the most severely inept and dysfunctional individuals rising up through the ranks of SA aviation companies on the strength of connections to Old school tie/ SAAF old boys club/ attend same church etc. Placing these peoples names on a list will serve zero purpose.

More so in the contract environment where even the most reprobate pilot will have fistfulls of $$ thrown at him when a company is suddenly hard up for crew.
