Sadly the loss of people was the icing on the cake. Fatigue issues, endless night flying for the huge majority of pilots there, and an arrogant chief pilot that ironically smiled when captains of thousands of hours were handing in their resignations, made FZ a very bad place to be. Unless of course you were there during the first two months in the beginning and helped the Indian workers mount the air conditioning units on the wall, then no, you were ok, in all aspects. Does fatigue impair your judgement? Yes it does. If heads are not chopped after this, then it's pointless to even consider thinking for such a company.
Looking down at your pilots as slaves can work and usually you get away with it, with a huge bonus check into your pocket, but - once in a blue moon - unfortunately so - the **** hits the fan and your butt starts shaking.
