Just wanted to re-up this thread after the latest release of information. OPM sent out photos and videos from the 6th of March and Phil seems in remarkably good condition all things considered.
One of the videos is a reply to a video sent by the NZ officials. He makes a pertinent comment about chasing up salaries owed. Another makes it clear that OPM don't want foreign pilots flying around Papua.
I understand the pressures a lot and I know what it's like to deal with Susi but it's madness for Susi Air pilots to still be flying around Papua currently.
