The only MAF pilot I knew, had to get evacuated from Papua New Guinea in a bloody hurry after he sh@gged a local chief's daughter, and they were coming after him with a bunch of machetes and a cooking pot. Was last seen in a mental health facility somewhere around the Cairns area having had a full mental breakdown / divorce etc.

In outback australia anyway, they are as popular as a plate of ham sandwiches at a bar mitzvah, because of their business model which requires the pilot to be essentially sponsored and supported by their church, which spares them from the annoyance of actually having to "pay" their pilots, which in turn lets them undercut legitimate GA operators on lots of contracts.

If there's two things I can't stand in this world, it's P2F and religion
