737-200 that's the key word I believe the thread was about a guy who has flown CLASSICS and NG's not the OLD 200 ones isn't that right? I mean who would wanna fly a 1960's aircraft anyway, even if maintenance were good, be it in Africa or aywhere else? Now some operators, especially in Nigeria do have a tendancy to not pay on time, but not all of them. You can't put 'em all in the same basket.
