What do you expect when you work for an airline like that ? Even without asking anyone any information about this airline I would expect already what you just confirmed...you pay your money and you take your choice...outside of Europe and the big carriers in the middle east its a game of Russian roulette

blablabla says...
Over the years, I've come across some that ventured into Bangladesh.
There have been more than sufficient posts for those interested in Bangladesh to serve as a strong warning.
You know the warning given to children about hot stoves… and they still burn themselves??? Some either don’t pay attention, or have to learn the hard way about the cost of tuition may be a very high expense in education.
However, blablabla it's not fair to say, nor true with every carrier outside Euroland. How many pilots are beating a path to fly with Ryanair with their fantastic terms and conditions?
There are reputable carriers beyond East 00 00.0° who put their crews on full payroll and decent accommodations the day they enter the country or report for training.
Due to the bureaucracy in many of countries however, which is out of the control of the carrier, one may be left to sit around for days until paperwork is stamped. However they are on full payroll and in decent hotels.
That said there are a number of alternatives exploring in the Middle East and Asia.

I am not sure what your point is. All foreign airlines seem to play games with pay, it is their way of holding something over on you. I have spent some time with their expat pilots and I had a good time. They were always paid eventually, unless they bailed mid-month. The Regency bites, but I am pretty sure they give you a good sum of money to get your own place, wherever you choose. You get picked up by a van for work, spend about 200 taka a day on food, what is the problem? By the way, they have pretty modern 767-300ER aircraft. I am sorry if BD is not Shangri-La, but then again, it has its own unique attraction. Again, what is the problem? The airline side is run by some pretty knowledgeable expats, unlike most of the third world. Sorry if it wasn't up to our western standards.

let alone the weather in Bangladesh in summer (9 mths of the year!) it sucks, together with a non radar atc environment. I feel so sorry for the poor people flogging around in the ATR's and Dash 8's . Imagine coming from the EU to this environment, talk about a steep learning curve!
Add it this Dhaka where it takes you 15 minutes to travel 100 meters in a car , and water full of arsenic that makes your hair fall out... eeesh... nasty place. Makes West Bengal look like paradise!

Dawg, you are partially correct. Ex Pats are holding their breath on being paid. However, airplanes have not been sold. Kind of hard to sell something that you do not own. Only one of the 3 is actually leaseable to other carriers in Asia and the Middle East. 2 of them are over 20 years old, and most countries will not let you register and operate an airplane that is that age. Two different carriers are interested in the one that is under 20. One wants a short term lease, which most likely will not work. The other wants a long term lease and will probably end up getting it.
