1972....Republic of Upper Volta (now Burkina Faso)...Evergreen Helicopters
Made collect (reverse charge) telephone call to McMinnville, Oregon....Evergreen Payroll Department.....charges accepted...query re past three months pay....to be told...."We don't give that information out over the telephone!" As if they did not know who was calling collect from Bobo-Dioulasso, Republic of Upper Volta!
Got transferred to the Chief Pilot....name of Larry Vineyard....explained situation....three months on the job and no information re pay since hire....to be told...."...as payroll department correctly stated...we don't give that information out on the telephone!".
Does this kind of attitude sound like familiar in Nigeria?
Surprise visit paid to Chief Pilot's Office using my retained unused "Open" return ticket....confirmed I had been paid in full.....then elected to remain at home vice return to Bobo-Dioulasso.
Evergreen could not understand why I had such poor faith in them and their concern for the working staff.
