Thumbs down The Travails of the Common Man

Some of our expats have quit, some been sent home today as a result of seeing the CNN documentary. More will doubtless fail to return from leave after pressure from their families. Describing the militants, who may or may not have been from MEND, as like Robin Hood was a sick travesty . Robin Hood took from the rich and gave to the poor, he wasn't involved in kidnapping and extortion of money from the families of innocent men (and now women) to purchase more weapons and terrorise more people . In spite of all this, both CHC and Bristow are trying to insist crews travel between Port Harcourt and Owerri by road . When their management travel to Port Harcourt they only come if they can travel in Aero Dash 8s or executive jets. Just imagine Kone Heaven or Neddy Holdon arriving in Owerri (late of course ) on the morning Virgin flight, joining all hoi polloi in the WWE replay (known as the baggage reclaim), only to find that their suitcases have been 'misplaced'. losing their expensive PDA phones to pickpockets and touts, then enduring a couple of hours taking in the sights of the wrecked vehicles of previous travellers on the Road to Hell
