Seriously though, poor Arik I feel most for our illustrious acting DFO Victor E and really hope he is having a good day sorting out their problems that have just been heaped on him and he had no part at all in creating.
V.E. is back in the home land on rotation and doing sims there. He's missing all the fireworks.
Another crazy day of flying at Arik. They hadn't paid for flight planning either. Pilots rostered for one of the sims were cancelled due to no payment. Getting fuel, if available, can take hours. Airplanes / crews all out of position. Crews timing out... not necessarily from flying, but waiting for fuel. Everything is hanging on, hour by hour.
Why on God's earth would these passengers come back at all? Extremely late or cancelled is the best Arik can do.
