CP,
Housing and living expenses in Libya are extremely low, even compared to other North African contries, so naturally Libyan crews are paid less than foreign aircrew. It is still not enough, though - plenty of room for improvement.
The flodded streets I have seen in Libya have been in no worse condition than the streets I have seen in Italy or any other med contry. Electricity can be a real problem, but you can buy a reliable generator for less than 100 usd.
If you are based in Tripoli, you have a 5hr drive to Zarzis (7hr to Djerba), where you can get a drink if you like. Mind you, its Tunesian, so you'll probably be better off without.... I for one will never drink those blasted "celtic" again. Pheow.
As I don't speak much Arabic and I don't have many hrs, I doubt that they would hire me, but just for the adventure, I'd love to fly for them.
