Payment Problems
Myself and a group of pilots and engineers who have been working in Equatorial Guinea are still strugling to received what weren't paid of our contracts. The guy there even is keeping some personal tools of one of the engineers (he refuses to send the equipment back, and just those tools worth around USD 20K). But there you can forget about going to the court. It won't work.
And now looks like the guy is putting a new company, based in Douala, in order to lure people to go work for him.
Last thing I heard was that he managed to get one Dutch Captain and he himself was flying as FO, despite he had no license (had because in some conuntries it is very easy to buy one) and beeing emmotionally unprepared to be in a cockpit (he had flown on the jump seat sometimes and he panic if he sees a CB on the WX radar).
For you to have an idea, he is owing money to some big supplier companies in even this big guys have not been able to receive at all.
So, we can begin making a database of the "not-serious companies" to work with.
Good look in your quest for the money, as I will continue mine too.
