Both Captains on these two aircraft are also aerobatic display pilots. Scully Levin, the lead pilot, turns 63 on the 28th of September, and retires from SAA this month. He is the lead pilot in both the Harvard display team and his Pitts display team. Pierre Gouws is the number two pilot and was the one doing the hard work during the B733F display. He is also primarily a solo display pilot in the L39 and Harvards.
SAA included Jet Upset training in the current secondary recurrent training program. I agree with Airbus that handling skills are under threat and at SAA it is only really the B737 pilots whose handling skills are generally up to scratch. Even the B744 pilots start to suffer from handling currency as they generally follow SAA's policy of autopilot in at 500 ft after take off and disconnect on short final. Throw in a visual approach to runway 21R at FAJS and that's when one notices how affected each pilot is.
