Oh come on Frututu , stop banging the ' let's frighten them away with loose talk about election trouble ' . We are not all morons .
The skills transfer subject is valid . I have had no problem finding employment as a Training Captain since I left a Big Legacy Carrier , as most far seeing airlines want people who are going to bring a fresh perspective to CRM etc , especially when expansion and upgrades are on the way . Accidents must be avoided at all costs . Nationalism has no place when it comes to safety .
The Kenya Airways argument is purely xenophobic , and it has slowed the expansion over the last 5 or 6 years , no question. I have said it before , expat contracts can be easily controlled and curtailed with proper agreements between management and union , but only if they have the interest of the airline at heart .
That seems to be sadly lacking .
