I think Paul Rice is chuckling to himself (when I say "he" I do not mean to make any assumptions about his/hers sexuality, orientation etc
).
Having had a crack at BA many years ago I have to say the selection process was conducted with impeccable fairness. From what I have seen, having met lots of crews around the bazaars, they have certainly recruited a wide range in terms of ethnic origin. Purely as a guess I imagine they have one of the most diverse pilot work forces around. Credit where it's due.
Although I'm told you mustn't bid for Joburg unless you play golf....
ps best of luck to any ex, or soon to be ex mil, guys by the way.
