It seems we are on a raw nerve here. I cannot imagine what Max Torques' problem is? Maybe an African Pilot stole his girlfriend one dark night !

I think we are on to a smoking gun here, in so far as the figues seem to match all round. It would be logical for African contractors to be a little more competitive due to exchange rate annomolies etc. But for Europeans to consistently come in around $300 per hour less something doesn't add up.

I hope we can resolve this problem with some more serious input; especially as guys jobs are at stake here. It is much harder for an African to get a JAR validation than vice versa. Subsidies are really the last straw.
