Cool

Speaking of Fish...
THEY ARE MONOPOLIZING THE LEBANONS AVIATION INDUSTRY
What exactly is Lebanon's aviation industry?
THEY DO NOT ALLOW ANY OTHER AIRLINE TO ESTABLISH
I'll be generous and say there are 5 million people there. OLBA had 1,392,198
pax including transit in 2005 (source beirutairport.gov.lb) we can assume same numbers for this year, considering loss due to war, recoveries due to expats.
Lets be generous again and say 1,500,000 pax through the airport for 2006. Keeping in mind OLBA was built for 3 Million pax.
MEA is not the only airline that operates there. So why does it make business sense to establish another airline? And please justify your claim that they do not allow another start-up. They are not the civil aviation regulatory body of that country.
AND MEA IS THE ONLY AIRLINE IN THE WORLD THAT WILL START YOUR - CARRIER WITH DEBT......YOU WILL OWE THE COMPANY AS SOON AS YOU START BECUASE THEY KNOW THEIR SALARIES IS TOO POOR SO NO PILOT WILL RUN AWAY TO OTHER AIRLINES ....BUT INFACT WHEN THE PILOTS ARE PAID WELL THEY CAN NEVER LEAVE.
This statment shows you have slim to nil understanding of the air transport industry. You obviously do not like that airline or the working conditions. Why are you complaining you can't get in?
Finally, if this is a "Channel" for professional pilots as you claim, what are you qualifications?

I'm just a fisherman lost at sea, monitoring 21.5
