Rumour tells of the time back in around 1988/1990 when Air Botswana employed a batch of Tanzanian F27 captains as expatriates in order to lance the boil of political correctness. The whisper further has it tell that these guys were of rather limited ability, having been brought in to provide the appropriate smiley face in the cockpit rather than to bring any gifts of skill and aviation ability into the company. That was shortly before Captain XYZ, who was I think a local rather than a white guy who'd lived in Africa for three generations, nicked an ATR, flew it around Gabs for a lap or two while dementedly threatening death and destruction to the president and then, on landing,crunched the machine into the remaining neatly parked AB fleet thereby depriving the country of its entire airline capability at one fell swoop. Sic transit gloria mundi?
