Yup-They have paid my salary for the last 13 years, they were one day late last year but it was the banks fault.
They operate in Ireland,Peru,Afghanistan,DRC,Sudan on the L100-30 aircraft.
Also operate BAE146 for Air Link in RSA and are expanding this fleet after winding down their B737 fleet. Still have 727-200's-had the pleasure of flying those machines for 3 years.
Salaries for what is required still leaves one breathless, however we now get our simulator time with monotonous regularity with a corresponding increase in motivation.
Got a good bunch of guys at the moment, maybe need a change of heart on managements side to make a winning team!
On the down side-lost about 8 captains and 12 first officers in 18 months!.

All said and done-a good and solid outfit but could do a lot better considering their position in SA aviation.
