If you are any good, good enough for the RAF, then you would be ideally placed to help upskill the SAAF.
Pontius, I think that, between the lines, Alexray is hinting that he didn't feel he had a future in the SAAF. I would sympathise with him. The government in South Africa today, behind the scenes, would like nothing more than to remove any faces from positions of importance and power that it doesn't see as fitting it's ethnic profile. Such positions usually go to friends, relatives of those holding the reigns of power, and to those whose political party-affiliations are liable to favour the 'ruling class'. Ability to do the job effectively is not a high requirement.
Just to the north of SA, one only has to look at Zimbabwe to see what disasters that sort of thinking generated.
