re: What's New In W. Africa (Nigeria)
We've had a few problems over delivery of the new Cadillacs maybe because we underestimated the difficulty of getting things in to this country and how long it all takes. But, using our usual awesome lateral thinking we bought a beautiful new crew bus which is really sleek and racy looking. Applying those same awesome lateral thinking techniques we didn't get seat belts fitted, but went for the high density seating model so that the occupants are tightly wedged in place and can't move anyway.
There have been some complaints about the luxury Tamarin Hotel in Lagos, probably because crews simply don't understand the awesome lateral thinking logic behind keeping it on. We appreciate that there isn't much in the way of personal entairtainment in the hotel, but this is more than compensated for by the fact that the normal wait of 1 to 2 hours for your meal order won't leave any time for personal entertainment anyway. When your meal finally arrives, the poor quality ensures that you won't eat too much, so you'll stay slim, fit and healthy. Finally, after a night in these luxurious quarters you'll think much better of your awesome room back in Port Harcourt when you return. Just think of the hardship visiting fixed wing crews have to endure when visiting your base in Port Harcourt. They have to put up with living in the former Operations Manager's house with a dedicated kitchen and staff and only have a loose fitting bus without seatbelts to take them there from the airport, thus risking the possibility of being seriously injured in a crash on the new super-fast expressway from the airport.
Lateral thinking, giving the people what we know they need, not what they think they need is the key to success in running a successful company and keeping our employees happy.
