It is to be hoped that the powers that be will ensure that none of those who availed themselves of the purported purchasing service will ever hold a South African aviation licence or, indeed, ever fly in South African airspace, controlled or otherwise.
That last would probably be impossible to accomplish in terms of a restriction. The first suggestion would take a degree of courage and determination which might not sit too well upon all politcal shoulders. But it is a policy of punishment which should nonetheless be pursued with all diligence. It stands quite apart from whatever else the law may choose to hand down as a punishment.
It would also be a most excellent idea if the powers that be would dust off my last application to the SACAA and give me a call with a view to working for them as a part time flight ops inspector. Such a well considered move would ensure that certain coefficients other than A, B or C were used in determing capability, maturity, attitude and airmanship.
