MY Dearest RSA and "Sir O"
I am no Rich-man's child, nor am I unprofessional! I got my ATP through hard work and payed for every hour of my flight training on my own. I sat in African $%#*holes for months at a time while my wife and kids had to manage on their own and yes, today I am flying for SAA.
If anybody approach me for a charterflight I will do the flight provided that I am legal in terms of FDP. I have got further "bad" news for you. When I retire one day from SAA, I will most certainly continue flying.
Dont blame other people for your inability or lack of interest in joining a local airline.
To all the young guys out there: Work hard an you will be rewarded. Dont blame or threat others that have walked the walk.
Till next time! Be Safe!
