[caveat - I have never worked for NCA, I just know lots of others who have]

I don't mind putting my name in print to say this, but DON'T go and fly with NCA unless you want to be screwed by management four ways from Sunday.

Whilst the first lot of ex-MBA cadets DID shaft NCA, subsequent pilots that went there did not, but were instead themselves shafted on trying to get leave, fly south for interviews, you name it.

PNG, quite frankly, sucks, and the stories of hold ups and shootings are NOT exaggerated. Lae and Port Moresby are the worst places on Earth to live, and compound that with dodgy CPs and atrocious aircraft and you have a rather dangerous and $ h 1 t t y lifestyle!

Not worth it unless you don't care about your wellbeing and future prospects; those that have made it to bigger things were talented to begin with and went there without knowing the consequences, you have that advantage now so use it.

Jobs and places ARE usually what you make of them, but there are exceptions to that rule, and NCA is one of them.

AVOID.
