Afriqiyah Airways all expat pilots grounded ???

Hello pilots in Afriqiyah

is it true that the airline has suspended expat pilots flying? I cannot reach my
friend since 10 days, but before he told me very bad and very sad things of Lybia.
He was also afraid of being hold at the customs or not able to leave the country.


Europeans are targeted by the custom, also as flight crew you do not come
into neither get outside the country and nobody can have visit from his family.
Also locals like to get rid of the expat - pilots. HR boss behaves like a prisoner-director.

And again Afirqiyah did not pay on time and you did not get your monthly
allowance. But the contractor cannot do anything for you, because they
just don`t pay. Procedure with night stop allowance had changed and now
it is not paid. Also many expat-pilots are on the jump, 3 had left and 2 have
resigned. Quality and Safety is to laugh on, etc.

Are you caught in Tripoli? Anybody is able to leave the country?
Hope the best and hope for good answers ...
