NEA Shysters?
My question is: Why on earth would anyone, pilot or cabin crew, take off for parts unknown without their own funds to return? If one is that desperate to fly, at least straighten out your finances before you depart. If you do not have enough money for the return fare, why go? Take a job cleaning toilets at the local FBO, save some bucks.
Pilots are supposed to be smart, not stupid. Going to Africa without money is stupid. Trusting Haj start ups is stupid. How can you expect people to be sympathetic to your woes?
You had the choice to say no when offered the job.
Did you sign a binding contract before you went? Did you ask for a return ticket up front? Did you ask for salary up front? Or were you just so desperate to fly that you trusted everyone and anyone?
