I fail to understand the huge outcry, what is the difference with the current policy as opposed to their policy held in the past wrt to Cadet Pilot Scheme. At most, I think there were only 2-3 white males that went through the program since inception. The cadet program was created to address the issue of there not being enough people of colour being represented at SAA! Please note SAA has not closed its doors to white males and continues and will do so in the forseeable future, ie, interview and hire white males. As stated in the past one only needs to look at the number of white males hired during the hire feast of late 2010,early 2011 and the current individuals that are being interviewed. SAA hires approx 30 pilots a year, rest assured at the most only half of this positions will be filled by cadets the rest will be open to all suitably qualified South Africans as has been the case for the last 18 years.
