Already done. The wheels were set in motion weeks ago.
I don't hide my identity. I don't bluff. Neither do I cower.
I was perfectly open with all the parties involved as to what my demands were and also to my intentions should they choose to fail to reimburse me. We are way beyond that.
Go right ahead and continue to believe that this regime in Fiji is untouchable.

To my many expat friends there,
I know you are all competent and able to find employment elsewhere. This is why I have no regrets about dishing the dirt on the whole set up there in Fiji regarding employment visas and such like.
You may feel comfortable there just now. As FOs you are stagnating your career. No command prospects ever and, let's face it, piss easy flying.
Anyone wants to do a piece to camera, let me know. Probably be in NZ.

Work is work, play is play. I'm lucky enough to know how to enjoy both.
I imagine you are referring to Thai Lion? Well they changed the deal, would not pay for accommodation, refused to let us view the contract, could not provide a date for going onto the payroll and were being investigated by DGCA and ICAO. So I left with immediate effect, similar to FJ, so I could take up one of my other options. Thai Lion DFO and his sidekick were removed only a few days later. Trying to get rich quick at the expense of the expats. Sound familiar?

Feel your pain,If your not with a major airline then your most likely flying for an airline that is ****. The names and faces change but,in the end their all the same around the world. My two cents worth. Good luck!

Oh dear.
You're, not your, there're ,not their.
I sometimes despair about the professionalism in our industry. Simple English.
Perhaps some of you should ask Anthony and Satpreet about my recent email concerning training, training standards and management qualifications.
You had the chance to adopt First World standards whilst you had the opportunity. Instead village philosophy prevailed throughout the introduction of the A330-200 (wrong choice, I wonder why Phflieger).

For those of you thinking of the idyllic life, drinking Fiji bitter on the beach and dipping your toes in the warm Pacific Ocean interspersed with the occasional trip to replenish your dwindling duty free supplies, a grim reality check is needed. You are on you final warning before you get here and the ice is very thin. Do not be fooled by the fake smile and warm welcome, these guys do not want you here. They would prefer to upgrade their local first and second officers who can barely spell aeroplane least of all fly one. And of course expect that wonderful 10 days at home roster pattern to change at a moments notice to something far less cordial. Go by all means if you have no where else, but remember to start the application process elsewhere immediately.

that the flight deck atmosphere and pilot/management relationship is not exactly a happy scene. TEM in this case appears to be keep your mouth shut or get the sack. Not exactly a flight safety ideal?
What are you all complaining about
- 10 yrs ago (when the now A330 Fleet Capt was the union secretary) it was the same
Thats why all us locals 'flew the cuckoos nest'
It will always be the same backstabbing, lies lies lies environment.
Sadly- its just ingrained in Fijian culture. Thats why we departed so we would not be tarred with the same nepotistical brush.

If YOU'RE going to trash someone about THEIR use of simple English, I strongly suggest you get it right yourself.

Its actually they're.

You are correct of course. I stand corrected and thank you for your keen observations.
None of which improves the quality of FJ management nor the abilities of the junta in authority positions.
Bula vinaka.
