Zed,I was a contracted pilot on the ATR last year in Angola actually Cabinda,no longer there thank god,we never flew,we were amazed that Lonro printed material stating we were commercially operational,when we were just waiting around.Update they have ONE old ATR72-200 flying CAB to SOY,and the ATR42-300 is in maintenance,couldnt believe when I read a RNS recently that they were flying throughout Angola.(with several aircraft)
You are correct in your thinking,they are paying pilots full salaries for no flying,I was actually paid a whole years salary,alll I did for that was sit at home,and then when I finally arrived in Angola we only flew ONE hour training flight,FACT.Best RGDS
