Hi snoop,
as Cap Loko said, very friendly country and people!!! I spent 10 years there as a student and a few monthes as a pilot.
You have also the bar-restaurant ``Le campagnard``, Le Relais and you have a few quite good night clubs there too. If you need some infos, most of the people managing these places are some friends.
For the companie, STA-Trans African, holded by the Famous Mr S.... does not operate anymore, they used to fly two Lets 410 UVP-E and Two DC-9 (Ex Air Canada). Heard they are trying to re-open with only one DC9, as the new Mali national company, CAM, operate a Dash 8 for the regional flights now. You have also SAE Societe Avion Express, managed by Mr Alain Ashkar, two Lets 410 UVP, but one not flying; SAS Sahel Aviation Services is operated by american people, most of them are retired ATPL from the us flying for free as iti is a part of MAF Mission Aviation Fellowship, you have also a little aeroclub, i know the president if you want his cellphone.
Pm me if you need the phone numbers!!!

P.s, for wich company are you gonna work for?

Gouabafla,
