Do you know when the start dates are for those who got the call - this is good news as it will undoubtedly create movement so we can all start moving up the chain??

Mile hi and no fault,

At the moment it is the worlds most awesome airline. I was there and am now out in the big world and believe me, SAA is far ahead of the rest of the industry wrt the way they treat their cockpit crew. SAA is stuck in the dark ages that way and long may it last!! Good luck to all those joining.

You have got to be joking. Right?

In days gone by, yes, a great place to work. But by no means a "major" in ANY way, means or form. Today, just another African airline.

Sorry. It's the truth.
SAA ------> The best flying job in SA, possibly in the world

Superbly trained.
Waited on by attentive staff.
Over paid.
Under worked.
Live in Africa.

Good luck boys! It's got to be the best airline job in the world.

Give your CV (preferably) to a pilot in the Airline. He/She will drop it in the right box !

Thats what I did.....

The careers link on the website is not very up to date !

I know who you speak of. Far as I know he's staying at Tiger.

Btw, I've heard SAA closed down or are closing down the DBN base. Is this true?

It's always the half truths that do the damage in this forum.

The "little oke from Lanseria" ferries the Flying Lions Harvards, has never done a single SAA formo display (actually it would be illegal) and he PAID for an A320 rating at market rates. Even with the A320 rating he did not have enough points to be called for an interview and is flying for Tiger in Singapore.

Sometimes, my man, the world is not as twisted and corrupt as we make out, and sometimes things are done properly. Keep well.

Oh and by the way I am not him or his father. I just hate seeing someone slandered with half truths.

Underworked? I better buy some sweats for the roster queen then. I'm obviously doing something wrong.

It's like masturbating with a cheese grater...slightly amusing....but mostly painful.

Sorry, but Ford's the man and it seemed appropriate. What's any interview like?
