No-no-not having a dig at those blaubosbokkies at all. Just made comment on the fact that in the minds of some to employ demographicly suitable outlanders at the expense of indiginous irradescent inlanders might be excused if the cosmopolitan face of the crew was enhanced by the perceived ability to speak foreign languages-an ability not usually found in South Africans of the white variety, or the Anglo Saxon in general I quickly say.
I can remember when it was no good applying for SAA unless you spoke Afrikaans or had an Afrikaaner name or were ex SAAF or had a personal from one or two of the senior training captains or came from Safair. Whatever turns on the big Marshmallow at selection board is okay but the bias thing has seemed always an integral part of SAA selection - narrow minded and bigoted? Well why not?
