Hi thanks for your comment, as a Libyan it is amazing to see how suddenly people are dying to have a go at Libya, what is it? why is it? yes we are a developing country, yes we have oil wealth? but every year the country is safer and better then the previous year, we can't be up to your British or any other standards overnight, there is millions being spent on the aviation and many other industries.
And the comments on Libyan Pilots sat at home waiting for sanctions to be lifted is simply untrue, Many Libyan Pilots left during the sanctions to Singapore, Qatar and many other middle eastern airliners who have returned also please note during the sanctions the 727s still operated domestic flights and many other Russian aircraft continued to fly around the country, given Libya's terrain flying is sometimes the only way from A to B. I have a few relatives who fly for the 3 main airlines in Libya, and happen to know captain Yusuf of flight 771.
Libyans are a hospitable people, who enjoy looking after expats and visitors, please show the same respect back for the people, who are doing their best to change the view of their homeland, the normal men and women on the street who don't deserve such a reputation.
