If you deal with folks in Africa and they do not pay your INVOICE, You may be in trouble.
When they do not pay your INVOICE (S). It means you didnt learn the first time.
Money hits the bank, THEN they get the product.

lets hope not

as far as another rassair goes, lets hope not, remember the uncertainty it caused and how many good crew lost their jobs? if only for a few months but thats still a few months without pay.

Both issued same date - Very aware of 'African pitfalls'

Since Ken left hard to find someone to even respond.

If I am not mistaken... Dash 8's were for the schedule to Vilancoulos. As for not paying invoices, its no secret that there are cash flow problems. Lots of delays, however lets try and be optimistic on this one... it should pass... That's the problem with a company which has grown too quickly and still struggling to be run like the size business it is... Trading aircraft is a risky business...

I would have to give a word of caution if you are thinking about joining ET contracts
Salary wise I personally have had a dispute or two.
Rather large disputes to be honest. The type where my salary was
cut by +R10000 without warning.
Somehow it was blamed on SARS, and it is the LAW. (wada wada)
If you are prepared to put up with that bull, then all the best
And yes I know the tax laws with regards to contract pilots.

I chose the high road.

Salary cut...... perhaps this is just part of a much bigger issue and the tip of the iceberg?
