Come on, LJT get over yourself.

The reason they charge that much is because that's what its worth to go to Lagosand the strong support they get ensures it will continue. You forget that the majority of the pax on that highly lucrative route are your fellow nationals going shopping and rushing off to the land of milk and money.

The expats that go to Nigeria to work there are filling a capability that you guys are not capable of doing for any decent length of time before it all falls down. If you think I am being unfair or biased then look at Bellview for an example - I flew with them on an F- registered machine form Lagos to Abidjan on a few occasions and it was great. Fast forward to the point where the planes are on the 5N register and where are they now??

When PENGASSAN went on strike in Escravos and the Nationals walked off the job yet again the Expats kept the show running and when the strike was over and the guys came back to work, production actually dropped!
