Agaricus if you had met any of the boys that fly this type of flying you wouldn't be suprised at the description.
Its quite christian knight territory.
The pilot is disposable in alot of ways. Bullying and abuse is normal. If you depart the organisation or don't do what you are told its like leaving a sect, emotional blackmail will be brought to bare by experts in it.
Getting 20 bibles and a nun to some out of the way
hole in dodgy as hell wx with an aircraft thats borderline according to manfuctures preformance when its brand new. It is meant to be done on an act of faith that your doing the big mans work and he will look after you. Then the nun will bring 90 bibles and her mate then your still expect to do it anyway.
One lad I spoke to had lost his faith due to the antics and was desperately trying to get home in fear of his safety while flying and couldn't say anything because he would get a visit by some of the locals who believed that giving him a good kicking was gods work and good for his soul. He couldn't get a ticket home from his church and didn't have funds of his own. He was living on 20$ a month from his church.
