Facelac,
Not with a bargepole!

They were playing several agencies off against each other and still wouldn't accept the lowest of the low rates offered.

They wouldn't put a month's money per pilot up front to an agency thus the agency wouldn't be in a position to guarantee the pilot a monthly salary, indeed any salary!

They attempted to steal addresses from agencies to contact the pilots themselves and offer then, reduced salary, direct employment, they have one A320 Captain there on USD4,000 per month.

They have some ex Army chappie there in charge of recruitment, never flown a commercial aeroplane but likes to call himself 'Captain' and the head of Flight Ops is even worse.

And all this going on whilst they have up to 5 A320's grounded due no Captains and 30 more A320's on order. One good thing though, last heard they had 5 A320's, expected to fly early morning until late evening, but only had 5 Captains, where else will you get to write your name on the side of an aeroplane!

What security will you have if you go, if you don't get paid then you complain, if you complain then you get deported I guess!
