Every couple of years, there is yet another cunning plan coming from the government's direction trying to force the previously disadvantaged pilot cadets into the charter market, where most of them actually don't want to be. At the moment it looks like Air Namibia is taking most of them in. It's cheaper for them to pay these guys & galls a salary than paying the penalties for being non-AA compliant.
Similar story happened in Bots last year or the year before? Didn't last very long though, did it?
