"Maintainance used to be pathetic, nobody knows where the spare parts was coming from, just used parts without cards."
Probably cause where you come from they made all the parts at the auto shop down the road. In ICAO countries we have things called "Certs" 24-0078, 8130-3 and Form 1's. These are peices paper that come with every aircraft part saying that they are certified for use on the Dash 8, only FAA, Transport Canada and JAA approved vedors can print these. Not that you would know where to go look for those. They are all scanned and saved in you maintenance software that your wonderful bosses refused to pay for. Which by the way was offered to them even after the Deluce's pulled out. Plus the oil companies forced air Service to audit its vendors for compliance! I would like to see any other carrier in Gabon that did that! Why don't you ask where they are gettin the spare parts from now? Cause oh yeah I think the Deluce's were in charge of doing that task as well...
Doesn't look like you know too much about how to operate an airplane to ICAO standards.... Why don't you make sure your cockpit is clean and that all the pretty lights still work!
If your contracts aren't being paid maybe you should take a closer look at who you are dealing with!
Don't blame the Deluce's for wanting to make money. Unless that is, you're only in Africa cause you enjoy the people and the scenery.
