Interesting perspectives on this thread.I am from SA Express and know both the guys personally who have joined Qlink.I can assure you that they are very experienced.One of them in particular is surely a great loss to us.His expertise and intellect has given our airline a much needed transformation.He has held very high positions in our airline.To put the record straight.They took the positions because for some reason or other they wanted to come to OZ.There were many guys(close to 20) offered the positions,but declined.South Africa is not the place where every white man is desperate to get out.It is a fantastic place to live and our freedoms are unquantifiable.Some of the reasons the guys gave for declining the offer was because of superior lifestyle that they live in SA.Some thought the salary at Qlink was ridiculous.The two genet,mean who are there now had their reasons for going and we would never know unless you ask them.Perhaps they have extended family there and want the opportunity to be close to them.Perhaps they wanted a challenge.
