We had to operate for over a week with 2 f/o per plane in Nigeria and since I refused to go back there and sent a report to the management, I never been called back. During this Haj, a 767 crew had to fly Jedda- Maidiguri (Nigeria)- Jedda in the sale night... Way over duty.
The pilots from the tail strike incident were found over duty. Of course it's not the only cause for this incident, but it's one of them.
The first time I flew for them, my check pilot's words when I complained about being over duty were "if you start complaining about that, you won't last long in this company".

Sometimes you arrive on a nice contract, but most of the time it's a complete chaos organised by some ex Seven Eleven employees thrown into aviation business without even a basic training, and at the end the crews have to pay for their lack of organisation.
These working conditions might suit certain pilots, but flying a JAR registered airplane implies the respect of the JAR rules. Unlike what AAI tells to their pilots, your licence can be suspended in case af illegal actions.
