Latest story at SAA they dont have enough crew for 100 flights next month. Possible intake in the new year.
TAAG want SAA to operate their Lisbon route for the next 6 months. Now they need to reactivate 60 pilots. SAA have known about this for months. This is maybe why TAJ is possibly on his way out.

What happened about the plan to recruit pilots from other African countries for SA/SAA??? Heard there were talks with the labour dept regarding Visa's a year or two ago already..... I am sure Kenyan/ Nigerian etc airlines will be real happy when SA steals their pilots to replace all the SA guys that went to Asia / Mid East.
NTW had 3 guys from Zambia at one point and now have 2 Zimbabwean gents ..... maybe if Comair hires Mugabe's last remaining pilots they can wiggle their way out of the courts.....

Está servira para distraerle.
A little bird told me that he was at the SACAA the other day. He met two Rwandan gentlemen there who were validating British Commercial licences in order to fly for a certain South African executive jet company.
At the moment you cannot fly as a pilot for SAA unless you are a South African but beware, nationalisation has always been subject to political expedience.
Remember that lanky little runner called Zola Budd? Some English girl she was indeed!

Latest real story at SAA is that the December roster/crewing, is going to be a tad disruptive for the guys due to the call of the Emirates. As for intakes well, the new finance director, who shall be nameless, walked out of his last scheduled major SAA meeting, citing the unpreparedness of the rest of the board members. An intake at this stage of the proceedings looks a shade doubtful.
Good luck anyway.

VERY HEATED INDEED
FIRST OF ALL
ANYBODY WHO BLAMES WERE SAA IS ON BLACK PILOTS AND NOT ON MANAGEMENT
SECONDLY
I BLACK AND DAMN PROUD OF IT AND I DON'T FLY AIRLINES AND I NEVER WILL. I LOVE CONTRACT FLYING AND I'LL PROBALY DIE FLYING CONTRACTS. I'M ALSO VERY ANTI ANC GOVT
BUT
AFF. ACTION IS A RACIAL ISSUE AND THERE IS NOTHING WRONG WITH IT. RSA WITH A POPULATION OF APROX. 50M HAS MAYBE A 20% WHITE POPULATION. DOES IT NOT MAKE SENSE TO ANY OF YOU THAT THE NATIONAL CARRIER SHOULD REFLECT THAT???? Can YOU IMANGANE BA WITH 80% CHINESE PILOTS?? ANY AIRLINE (ESPECIALLY NATIONAL) SHOULD BE MADE UP OF THE INDIGENOUS INHABITANTS OF THAT LOCALITY.
AN AFRICAN AIRLINER SHOULD BE MADE UP OF AFRICANS (BLACK OR WHITE) BUT WE ALL KNOW THAT THERE IS HELL OF LOT MORE BLACK AFRICANS THAN WHITE AFRICANS. AT THE END OF IT ALL, IT'S AS SIMPLE AS THAT.
AFRICA FOR AFRICANS
PS. TO BE AFRICAN IS NOT ABOUT SKIN COLOUR IT'S ABOUT A MIND SET, AN ATTITUDE AND A CERTAIN APPROACH TO LIFE BUT I CAN SEE THAT MOST ON THIS THREAD ARE NOT AFRICANS AT ALL , SO OFF TO EUROPE IF YOU DON'T LIKE IT!!!!

Africa is for Africans?
AFF. ACTION IS A RACIAL ISSUE AND THERE IS NOTHING WRONG WITH IT
And when I add this
AFRICA FOR AFRICANS
Africa is for Africans provided they are black.
I am White, also damn proud of it and to top it off, I am third generation AFRICAN. Yet wherever I go in Africa, Passport control always gives me a second glance cause "how can a whitie get a RSA passport"
I have even had it where I was refused entrance into Sudan because they do not believe in white south africans
So here is my solution for you, export all the whites out of AFRICA, cause that is what you okes want after all, but then lets export all the blacks out of europe as well, cause Africa is for blacks, so lets keep Europe for the europeans. Not SO

Your title says it all! Obviously suffering from delusions of adequacy? Normally I would not bother to reply to your senseless drivel. No profit in it at all. Nevertheless, just cant help myself today so here goes....

I have not seen, nor do I recall, a single posting where black pilots were blamed for the state that SAA is in.

I'm happy for you on this count, friend. But fortunately with your attitude you are not in the airlines and by your own admission never will be. Serious doubt as to your mental stability and state of mind! I suggest you approach a professional for assistance as you are clearly a danger to yourself and those around you.

What does make sense, my racist "pal", is that SAA should be run according to sound business practices and should certainly not be employing the likes of you! I only hope all the decent black professional pilots distance themselves from your comments. By the way, I am an African by way of the fact that my geat-grandfather down to my sons were all born in SA. By international definition this makes me an African not a European. Since you chose to ride the well-worn race donkey again let me assure you I am white and proud of it seeing absolutely no reason at all why I need not be.
AFRICA FOR AFRICANS
Right on, brother! And Europe for Europeans, America for the Americans, Asia for the Asians, etc. Welcome to the reality of the global village. But for white men who invented flying you would not have a contract now.

You said it, but unfortunately you fail the test according to the criteria you have established.
Now that I have wasted my time trying to make sense of the rantings and ravings of a very sick mind, Mr Moderator, why is this post allowed to stand but any white persons reply or posting in a similar vein would be deleted?
PS. Sayswho, I dont think this character is fishing, I meet with his type on a regular basis. The really scary part is, this type of attitude enjoys massive support and wide media coverage. The reason Zuma is so popular and Mugabe is still in power.
