Should I, Shouldn't I...?

Hi All,

I read this whole thread, and well, cannot say I am surprised. Not much better than the Russians! Pay is late, false reasons for delaying pay, firing people for no reason other than to save on redundancy payments... ah, its all spreading!

Anyway, hope all is working out ok there.

My question is, to anyone brave enough to pick this one up, is, I have applied for a job out there, VP Flight Ops. Considering what they require for the role, its right upmy street. I am not unused to adverse cultures and the whole "Managers/Owners at the top trickle out the money on pain of death only" mentality - again, Russian clients taught me that well!

Do Arik pay ok? Is it really like living in a prison out there? How corrupt is it? Essentially, if I was offered the position, is it workable? Do they pay in local currency, and is it better (or even possible) to be paid in EUR or GBP or somesuch?

Please PM if you like - it would be most appreciated, and, best of luck to you all!

SJ
