Needless to say.... I am an unemployed pilot who has a wife (with baby due to arrive 3 days before I leave. Food stamps are not pulling it. So, let me ask? Have you personally had this experience? I understand independent contract companies such as ACCASS, etc... work this type of business on a regular basis. Would you recommend I try to call a couple of these type companies (if you have any contacts, names, etcc..... I'd appreciate it) to inquire about protocal to protect our pay as best we can? Was your comment directly pointed at TradeCraft? Any way I can get a phone number to someone (or yourself if is the case) who has done this job in the last year or two? I know I am asking alot but the brotherly love is appreciated during these trying times.
PS I flew MD11s Worldwide for 8 years for FedEx as typed rated FO. Yet I haven't done the Africa thang yet.
Signed, possibly soon-to-be African bush pilot...
