Wow! It looks loke the stories are seen REALLY different from one individual to another..
Lots of drivers on the ATR fleet left because the company is treating them like SH*@!
Lots of guys enjoy the contract work, western africa's not that bad (except of course, when the coup starts.., like ABJ).
Pilot's happy? They just keep quiet their plans to get the hell outta here when time comes! The maintenance is not as beautiful as you describe, although the spanners are doing their best, they can't work without spares, maintenance planning(this is hopefully on the way to change now) and the management is too busy taking personal care of secretaries rather than spares?
Oh, and taking about money, yes it is true, they usually pay on time, but to what they think they ow!
