There's no question about whether the actions of the Pilots have been viewed as fair or not.
Whenever Pilots embark on any form of action against management, it is always looked upon as aggression!
It is my opinion that the Pilots in Nigeria have been overworked, under-paid and just OUTRIGHTLY exploited!
The unfortunate part is, it has lasted this long because the older ones always feared for their jobs and lacked the 'BALLS' to do anything about it!
These are the same lot that'd stand like they know it all; but now will reap from the labour and courage of the younger and more dedicated crew.
Local crew in Vk and all other companies with ex-pats should do the same!
Don't wait for the old freaks!!!! They have no 'LIVER' as we put it in Nigeria.
They have accepted the current conditions as their personal limits. It is noteworthy though, that limits are mentally set and those you accept ARE!
