[ZS340]

Colin Jordaan has been appointed as both CEO and Commissioner of the SA CAA.

Great news! Colin isn't everyones cup of tea but he is effective and most importantly, he commands the respect that this position both demands and requires.

With Anton Richman still there (AFAIK) we've now got two previous SAA Head of Flight Ops running the CAA. I just hope that they're able to secure the necessary authority and political backing that will be required to be successful.

Best news I've had this week. Well today for sure.

Not sure how much respect TAJ commands, but I do agree, at least he does understand the work. How did we end up with white boys there?

I support Colin's appointment.

Go FIGJAM. F%&*#@$ I'm Good, Just Ask Me!!!

Only joking, I'm sure we'll only benefit from this. At last someone competent in that position, although the last guy wasn't too bad.

If he was so good. Why isn't he at SAA anymore. Strange how highly people think of him all of a sudden.

[Gyro Nut]

I believe some of the management didn't get on with him. We all know what SAA management are like.

[SAASFO]

We also know what Colin's like!!

[JetPark]

At last! An appointment made based on knowledge, experience and competence rather than political correctness.

This should breathe some much needed life into this organiztion.

[Bahraingeneric]

Come on guys,just ask why his nikname is TAJ??

[Parrot]

Interesting comment from Gyro Nut. If CJ, now as head of CAA, does not get on with some SAA top brass its going to be an interesting experience for them

Heard that this move is well supported. Apparently there's a big Chief at the DOT for Civil Aviation whose intent is to fix the CAA. Led to believe that this oke is solid and gets things done and has all the necessary support.

I've met him recently and spent a day with him having a few Brewskees, he has great ideas which I believe will be implimented without much waiting. I like his cool way of thinking about what should and shouold not be. CAA is going to be a fun place soon.

Congrats Colin!!!

So now I believe the CAA is to be called the TAJ Mahal
