PAAN is Air Log International.....signs, stationary, etc. might be different...but owned and operated by Air Log International out of Lafayette, LA. Pay scale varies with the day.....quarters are grim....onshore based....food is (was tolerable)....Escravos is shutdown every so often by invaders or strikers. A Bristow aircraft took a bullet strike on the south bank of the river across from the Chevron base camp (or so I heard). Have heard of wages varying from 3200 USD to 7000 USD........South Africans that were working for PAAN were on dogdoodoo wages....Air Log guys came in on the 412's with much higher wages. Heard the roster is 6/6 with lots and lots of flying when the operation is not shutdown for some reason. Escravos was a very miserable place to live.....no outlet beyond maybe jogging....Chevron of course is not exactly the best outfit to fly for either. Safety sure does not catch top bill....seems they finally were able to take the worst parts of the Gulf of Mexico and Nigerianize it. I would suggest taking a very hard cold look at the situation before signing on.
