These type of operations will only succeed if people accept the poor terms and conditions they offer. It can't be cheap on AMSA to keep importing people form else where?
How many locals do they have working for them?
I had an interview a few years back with them and I couldn't help but smile at them at the package that they offered!!!
At the time your local GA operator was paying more!
Why would I give up a good life style and pay and excellent employer to come and work for you was my question?
If as engineers we keep taking it then like our friendly pilots we too will see our T&C going down the creek and us saying years ago we had...........
I have worked far too hard and sacraficed so much I am one who will not accept how these "contracting" companies want to treat us.
I feel very sorry for the EK guys I hope they find work soon.
