I used to stop there for fuel when I was with Gemini.

They had butt-loads of French Caravelles that they got tired of and just pushed into the bushes on the sides of the taxiways. You'll be taxiing along and pass the snout of a moldy old jet pointing up at you 'cause it's sitting on its tail from all the rainwater in the belly....

South African was taxiing out one night and came up on a telephone pole lying across the taxiway. As they came to a stop all the cargo door lights started coming on....

Gemini had a mechanic out on the cargo ramp late one night who was robbed at the point of an AK-47. By one of the guards.

The place sucks! And that is a fact, not an opinion.

Should be a 777! So the answer to your question is yes it will go very, very senior!

actually it is going to be a 767-300ER. And people will avoid it like the plague.

We fly to Lagos regularly. Having flown to many different places around the world,Lagos is by far the worst. Great for mgt and the bottom line, but horrible for flight crews. Armed guards take you to and from the hotel. No traffic laws which makes the drive just short of terrifying. Dead bodies in the streets....etc.

Talk about dangerous, not a fun destination, we travel without security, and we arrive at 0330lcl and wait until sunrise to travel the road because its a little bit safer then... don't leave anything you want to see again in your room when you leave, you won't be seeing it, good money for the carrier, but it sucks for the crew, would rather sit in Bed Stuy with a 100lbs of crack in a suitcase with a sign on it than travel through Lagos

And coach is filled with folks going one way, thinking they were going roundtrip, trying to collect their percentage from the Honorable Mr. Clarance Therush the Third's business manager whom needs their help and has offered them the gracious chance to obtain a meager percentage of a very large sum of money after they provided their bank account information to him/her/it.

Doesn't it amaze you that people actually respond to those emails? A sucker born every minute!

Yeah, that is our only nonstop to anywhere INTL.......you have no clue. We also hit every large city in Europe, every large city in South America, every large island in the Carribbean. We also go to India, Johannesburg, South Africa, Tokyo, Dubai this Summer, and Seoul this Summer too. If you are a USAir East 757 pilot like your Avatar suggests, you go as far west as Vegas and mostly do Florida runs. Your 762s do some INTL from PHL, but not much. Enjoy that, if you are senior enough.


Bye Bye--General Lee

That's Barrister Clarence Therush, to you.

Man, this flight will crash the pay for cabbies in the U.S.! The labor pool for drivers who speak little English and can't read a map will swell.

It will allow the managers in Lagos to come over and more closely supervise their money launderers and identity thieves over here.

Now, if Delta will just start service to Addis Ababa, that will serve the growing community of Ethiopian money launderers, identity thieves and cabbies... TC
