Yes they have all been dropped in shyte.

One of their senior pilots that was in Ivory Coast and managed to get to Nairobi only to be told that the chance of him getting his pay was nil.

He fortunately had a ticket to get home.

They apparently were filing for bankruptcy last week.

The house staff at the boss's house were eventually paid more than a week late as was the electricity,which incidentally was a couple of months outstanding.

It is a very unfortunate business as now there are more pilots without jobs and also without their last months salary.

It seems to be getting quite the norm not to pay the pilots these days.
