February 2009 interviews

Seems like ±12 individuals were phoned for February interviews. All are cadets and female pilots. At least one of the cadets (black male) did previously fail the conversion at SAX, and was phoned for an SAA interview without even applying via CV etc!!
Female lowtime pilots are being phoned not on merit, experience etc, but only due to gender requirements.
This with sooooo many pale/male pilots who are much better qualified and experienced, not to mention their passion and dedication/commitment for aviation.
Females fly a little, and then get pregnant ............................
Majority of cadets (PDI's) see it only as a job, nothing else, no passion.
No wonder the cadet scheme slowly grinded to a halt; the "wekkers" are not keen on flying and aviation.
