Johannesburg - Cadet pilot training course applications from white men are no longer being accepted by South African Airways (SAA), it was reported on Friday.
SAA spokesperson Kabelo Ledwaba told Beeld that the cadet programme was being advertised online as an initiative to bring pilot demographics in line with the country's broader demographics.
"Only 15% of SAA's pilots are currently black, and this includes Indians and coloureds. The rest are white, and 91% of them are men."
Ledwaba said the airline would appoint male, white pilots when there were vacant posts for which applicants of other races could not be found.
Beeld had asked why white applicants were being rejected across the board.
An irate father had called the newspaper to complain that his son, who had a commercial pilot's licence and met the educational and physical criteria, had been rejected on the grounds of race.
By filling out several dummy applications, Beeld established that the online form had been programmed to reject any white applicants.

Next comes the dumbing down of pilot training.
“Cadet pilot training course applications from white men are no longer being accepted by South African Airways (SAA), it was reported on Friday.”
Well, perhaps that may actually physically lower the level of performance, like by a few hundred meters. “we don’t need no stinking altimeters” may become the rule.

It’s the epitome of left wing racism, because you have a country now totally dominated by a black majority. What possible basis is there to claim blacks are being discriminated against in such a country?
They really aren’t denying it’s because the black candidates aren’t qualified. Not using qualified airline pilots is like a monty python script about liberalism.
“Affirmative action airline pilots—what could go wrong?”
Memo to self: Add SAA to my no fly list!
And that’s just the result of them turning on the windshield wipers!
If I recall correctly, the west coast Aricans got there only about 300 years before the Europeans arrived.
Barry Soetoro, please pick up the white courtesy phone for new job to fail at.
The rejected people should come here and apply for training as Africans.
Affirmative action in the cockpit of an airline? OK,cool.But that airline is now officially on my own personal “no fly” list.
A buddy of mine was a technical security officer for the state department based in Moscow. He had to fly out to Vladivostok to certify the systems in the Consulate there. He told me that it was such an awful flight that he rode back to Moscow on the Siberian Express train.
The rejected people should come here and apply for training as MINORITY Africans.
” Whites are the only race stupid enough to believe race is unimportant.”
Amen!
Take a look at our future America.
I hate to say it, but whites need to pack up and move. This is going to get a lot worse and likely won’t get any better. The next step is confiscating white property. There about a decade away from that.
Interesting commentary in the signals from the brink. Frankly, with His Excellency and his henchmen in control here, we have leaped into the same league as South Africa.
Ending question is will you know what to do? Just say, I and my family are prepared.
Psssttt....I've flown Egypt Air.Scary rides ain't all they're chalked up to be.
