If SAA is going to interview the cadets that didn't make it the first time around couldn't that be construed as drawing recruits from the reject pile? In a kinder way of looking at the suggestion though, perhaps the original interviewing board was so inefficient that it let true talent fall, unnoticed, by the wayside? Or was there a communication problem and does one side of the interviewing table now speak better Swahili, Edo or Efik than before and is the CAA busy validating feringhee licences? Does this portend that the old crème de la crème of South African aviation manhood that used to fill the cockpits of the world renowned South African Airways has gone for a ball of woolly mammoth spittle? It's all very spatially disorientating!
