Recruitment Discrimination

Why?

1. Why doesn't any airline hold recruitment days in Africa and when they do why do they limit themselves to South Africa? South Africa is not the only country in africa.....

2. Why do airlines restrict ab-initio candidates to citizens of their own countries?

3.Why are airlines now placing age-limits for candidates who wish to apply? What if you were disadvantaged in your younger age or want to pursue your dream career?

Some airline executives are complaining of a shortage of pilots in the near future but they refuse to face and accept one reality- Africa is the answer to your problems. They're thousands of men and women who want to be pilots but they stand disadvantaged for because:

1. Training costs are too expensive

2. Airlines limit their recruitment drives to their countries and no one is willing to fly their because air tickets in Africa are too expensive and getting visas is a nightmare

3.Airlines will not accept foreign nationals into their training programs and/or limits applicant's age to 28 or below

Why?????

Two major airlines are recruiting and their recruitment requirements already disqualify myself and many of my friends who want to apply (No names mentioned)
