AAL, I feel your frustration buddy. But its just the way things work, I dont know what the answer is for African operators. Not sure how the whole banning process works either, I am sure that operators would be given several chances to make the required changes before a ban takes effect. Unfortunately African operators will continue to suffer if they do not meet the standards to operate in the EU. Just a thought, the blame for bad maintainance seems to go to the engineers, I dont think you can say that European engineers maintain aircraft any better than Africans. Its just that they are not given the recources in Africa to do it properly every time, blame the bean counters I say.
