The Umrah/Hajj money has started to flow to Max Air, but they still haven't paid the pilots their due from last year! To those who are considering an offer from the Lithuanian contract company you should understand: The salary offered is about 10% less than the past. The hotel is far worse than last year. You are expected to pay for your own p/c, which is another major change from previous years. Nigeria is at war with their homegrown terrorists and the bombings in Kano have resumed. Over 30 killed yesterday in the heart of Kano. What kind of pilot would be foolish enough to become a human target for a short-term, low paying contract where you will probably be cheated out of pay?
