Dear Napoleon...
I see that in your ramblings and verbal diarrhea you do not negate the facts that I have laid out.
Birds of a feather, my friend .... bird's of a feather (in your own words).

I think that you have me cofused for someone else. I am not J...S... nor do I work for him. I do, however, have access to a lot of information on the Frenchman and am aware that the clamps are closing on him.
I'll leave at that.

Your story is very jumbled, 2high2fly, and not easy to understand. Even if it was true (it is not) does it justify another operator thiefs us 330.000 $ ?
Can you tell me one detail, one word in my thread which is not absolutely the truth ?
Then if you are obliged to use insults it means your arguments are very poor.
Something else, apparently your boss is quite well known...

Again, I have no affiliation to J...S... nor his crowd. But I do have a lot of inside information on you from various sources.
I find it interesting to see that you have not disputed the facts that I have laid out in this thread or the other thread. This is only the tip of the ice-berg regarding your shoddy operation.
Let's leave it at that and see what happens...

Post the receipts of payment to the aircraft owner as well as the flight folio information for the past few months.
Then post the qualifications of the Frenchman's Engineer who has been working on the ZS registered BE20's for the past while without a ZS license.
Let's not pussyfoot around here. Do you want more?
Again, believe it or not, I have no affiliation to Mr S. I just hate seeing other good people suffering from the antics of a person of the likes of the Frenchman. There have been a lot of people that have encountered his pathetic attempt at calling himself a legitimate Operator and suffered the consequences.
It's time that African Aviation fell in line with the standards that govern it.

2high2fly, you are too nervous and say things which are just very far away from our concern and also from the truth (I dont want to waste time to tell you I come back to France as often as I want and so on)
To come back to your adventure in Chad, you say you came as "South African High Court messengers" but this is stupid, Court Orders are only carried through official chanel. I asked for a delay and obtained it, no more. Court orders are not surprises, they can be defended.
Then if you had security problem with local Police because you arrived in a funny way, it is not my fault. However as this action was the end of a 330.000 dollars theft, you could not expect to be welcome with flowers.
Keep your calm and avoid insulting and slanding, it does not help you.

As this is not an MEL item and the plane could still operate
if it is not in the MEL then it means it cannot despatch, if it is allowed to be MEL'd, then it needs to be deferred in the tech log and would have a class level and therefore the number of days it can continue to operate without it.
also, correct me if i am wrong, but i have a feeling it is a legal requirement to have a method of tracking the flight time on an aircraft, an engineer might clarify this.
i have no idea of who the 2 parties are in this story, but if both parties played by the rules there would not be a problem i am sure...
but as per african standards, each is trying to get one over the other, and both end up loosing.
if things are done correctly, legally and by the book you very rarely have such problems.
africa, the dark continent in so many ways.

2high2fly As far as I know it is the owner that is responsible for ensuring that qualified mechanics work on the aircraft and normally a ground mechanic goes with any aircraft thats away from base for extended periods. We are wating you revalations regarding this subject.

Yeah right Tbush
A very dear friend of mine worked in Chad for over four months on a contract. He was treated well and was never bothered by the operator. He stayed in the house, was looked after and he kept his nose clean, but the stories that he told me were awful. The fact that the house was a transition point for prostitutes and the goings on were despicable. His muslim partner should be ashamed of the alchol and womanising that took place. Now we are not here to discuss the merits of one's lifestyles, but the fact that the monies spent should have gone to paying the bills. When he left, with the promise that his money would be forwarded to him, he had no option but to ferry the plane back for an engine change. More than a year later he still is owed more than 30,000 rand for the salary he never received. Fair, I think not.
Asking to "gippo" the flight folios, flying to areas declared war zones not covered by the insurance, blatantly disregarding the owners request not to do so. All very suspicious. Tbush, pay this man his money, you know who.
Candellight dinners do not pay the bills.

Why was there a court order if everything was done perfectly on the side of the chad operator? im sure the law would wager up all aspects? and if they found that the a/c had to be returned, and not be kept in chad, then there is something fishy about operator that he is not telling us, because a/c is still in chad? because if operator was good he would not have problem to go to court?

Too right.
Sorry to hear that others can also validate the claims:
1. This Frenchman is an unsafe operator, and has cost lives through his tardy approach at running this N'Djamena based charter company.
2. It has been witnessed that he openly brags about double-invoicing the Chadian Goverment for flights that they chartered. He received payment on both sets of invoices.
3. He sends pilots into "hot zones" without even briefing them on the situation.
4. He has been seen to bribe the Chadian officials after his premises were chained and bolted by the Sherrif of Chad last year, having not paid taxes. He got away with a $5000 bribe.
5. The Frenchman attempted to buy a King Air 200. He was repsonsible for the plane, yet he never obtained the services of a registered ZS engineer. Instead he continued to use an unlicensed engineer.
6. He stopped making payments on this plane, and has now (with the aid of his contacts in N'Djamena) had the aircraft detained in Chad.
7. He has failed to pay the balances outstanding to other operators (80hrs to one operator in Durban) saying that he disagrees with the hours that the pilots logged in the flight folio.
8. He claims to be a Commercial Pilot, yet questions surround his license. He alledgedly has no Instrument Validation.
9. He has failed to pay amounts owing to pilots who were in his employ.
10. He has threatened to throw other pilots in jail for not complying with his demands.
11. He disconnects HOBBS meters and asks his pilots not to log flights so that he can make more money in his back pocket.
This Frenchman is despicable at best. Pilots and aircraft owners alike should be warned not to do business with him. People wanting to use his services for charters should also be warned that his operation is extremely unsafe.
I expect that Tbushpilot and Napoleon will throw in the verbal insults. This is typical, and I have better things to do than argue with them in this forum.
The reason for this posting is warn others to stay away for the time being. To Tbushbaby and Nappyrash, go ahead and hurl the insults. You have what is coming, rest assured.

accusation after accusation none backed up with facts. As for whores in the crew house sounds to me like ops normal for South Africans who become raging alcholics, colour blind and sex mad north of the Limpopo but that just based on 25 years of hands on observation. Keep the aircraft Mr "T" and when Mr J S" pays give it back if he dont let it rot.
