Kwajmate wrong again The money from Taiwan is to assist in the purchase of the aircraft just as they did for Marshalls in buying their Dash 8
Also OA is operating under an Aussie AOC and therefore has to maintain the high Aussie standards thrust upon them. They therefore have to pay real world market rates for staff. Even still their pay rates are a small fraction of what Solomons pay their execs and certainly less than they would earn in Australia or o'seas.They also carry out more duties then just flying so on an hourly basis are probably more productive than you and your Micronesia counterparts. I didn't see them nearly bankrupt their airline recently by refusing to fly as Air Marshalls did. I won't let this thread decay to a slanging match but simply say don't comment on things you don't really know about. You state as fact things that are not fact
