Unhappy

You really cant expect to many companies to keep moving forward, in PNG the f#@king kina is currently at 36 cents Australian. If you are paid in kina flying a turbine then on the current rate you will be earning less than a twin piston charter pilot in oz. It is tragic, but what do you expect, look at the polititians in PNG, & the amount of money pouring out of the country. No one is stupid enough to invest in a failing economy. My simpathy to those put off, by MBA. I hope things can improve, for all those who still enjoy flying in tropical paradise!

You know that a country is f%*ked when the local people come up to you once a week & ask -

" when is Australia coming back to fix our current situation, & kick our politicans out!"

Its a sad situation, PNG is a country on the verge of total collapse.
