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.

Many whites in SA can trace their lineage back 300 years or more...it’s their home. Just like America is our home, regardless of who was here before us.
To avoid a ‘hot war’, the best they can do is start a slow, generational migration to the west. With new technology, living in the desert/savannah is easier than it once was. Of course, each family should have as many children as can be supported to keep the demographic needle moving in a more advantageous direction.
“Surely, you can’t be serious?”
This is what economic justice ultimately results in. And sadly, we have a president who is obsessed with it.

Yep, President Obamugabe
Dang! That is scary stuff. I wonder why she and her husband have not fled that hellhole.
Wouldn't that sort of defeat the purpose of an outward migration?
Yes, and I'd add the Australians, the Singaporeans and the Japanese.
The Chinese and the Russians not so much.
Automated systems to operate automobiles, trucks and planes are going to be on the scene so soon it defies imagination. The days of the highly paid airline pilot are over!
It is probably a good idea to avoid flying on South Africa’s planes in the future. Some careers just do not do well with affirmative action.
You got that right. There is no such thing as “reverse racism” Racism is the belief that status and results are determined by race, no matter how races are defined or treated.
Pilots aren’t paid to fly the plane, they are paid to deal when things go wrong and keep the plane from crashing.
As they travel/migrate west...keep having kids.
