This joke is very old.
Hajj 1998 was one of the most UNIQUE experiences of my aviation career. LTA and LTB were INCREDIBLE machines. I never new that you could defer a main DC T/R unit. Nor, did I know that you could LEGALLY secure a thrust reverser with heavy wire wrapped around the throttle lever! They had many SPECIAL maintenance procedures. The operation never seemed to be able to determine which set of regulations it was to follow.
Many direct hires went months waiting to get paid. I was externally contracted and did get paid, though I did play hard ball for reimbursement of contracted expenses.
The company could and should be better than it is! The employees and public deserve it.
