I left them because I considered them unsafe - maintenance wise. Fans of Photoshop . . .

Management is acutely autocratic. It is not unknown to 'hang the messenger'.

Even operating into Afghanistan, when I asked whether we were insured or not, I only ever got one response 'Andrew will look after you'. Ask the surviving pilot of the MD11 crash in Shanghai how well Andrew looked after him.

BUT, they pay flightcrew on time (or did when I was there). There was (then) plenty of flying, but operating old aircraft (the DC10), at maximum ZFW into Africa, in the dark to some dodgy airports is statistically more hazardous than other types of operation.

It would be wise to consider it VERY carefully. It will pay the mortgage whilst you look for something else.

Best of luck.
