But if pilots are needed and none are available in the colour and style required (read political persuasion that toes the party line) why not use what is available and willing to do the job? The fact that much needed pilots are not being employed purely on grounds of being the wrong colour sounds very much like the old mob's attitude to me. The ANC must be so proud of sticking to their guns and adhering to Verwoerdian Principles so closely.
Two wrongs have never and will never make a right.
