Default Re: Flying in Africa

A guy a know was hired by Qantas back in the early 70s as a S/O on the old 707s. Qantas had a bad year with profits and basically got rid of their S/Os. A lot went to Cathay, but this guy went to Zambian airways! He said he had never seen so much corruption. After flying with Zambian for a while Qantas eventually took him back. He's now senior 744 check captain. It's amazing to hear some of the stories of pilots and how they got were they are.
