Salaries and Alice
Fudpucker, I rather think you are missing the point made by 212 Man. The current situation is that tax-free salaries in Nigeria are very close to the AFTER tax salary one would receive in ABZ. When the NS got it's big pay rise in 2000, this was not spread across to the overseas ops and now with the different cost centres the situation has worsened. I think you also miss the point that until recently there were no choices about where to work for some. I remember being stuck in Nigeria myself for several years and company giving me many empty promises about an imminent return to UK. It was only after I had spent 13K on a fixed wing licence that suddenly I got back, but it was all too late, I did what a lot of people are doing now - I left the company.
