Honestly never applied for a job at SAA. Heard it was full of guys like you so I figured it would be best to do something enjoyable with my time
Whinerliner....not at all chap!!!!
It's unfortunate that a few individuals tarnish the reputation of so many. I too had the misconception that SAA was full of egotistical individuals and after joining realised that this was the furthest thing from the truth! In fact I cannot say that I have met or come across any individual in my flying career at SAA that fits this mould.(Although Pitch & Fan is coming close to this perception)!!!!!
As I mentioned in my previous post we do a job just as any other pilot in the industry, we just happen to do it for the national carrier and certain individuals begrudge us that. Professional jealousy maybe? Well so be it...but I do my job as professionally and as safe as anyone else....egotistical...no way...just proud of my achievement and happy to be where I am!
