No wonder Neo sent the bust of Churchill back to the British. He didn't believe in non violent conflict resolution.

Default ATL 7ERB's

How often do 7ER B's reserves find themselves flying to Africa..?? Are domestic trips going to become more junior than the Africa flying?

What is the worst/best place in Africa? I am guessing Lagos/ Dakar? I am only talking about ER flying.

Dakar is not that bad lots of restaruants around that are pretty good.... and you get to sit by the pool alot and work on your tan!! surfing, and a few places to check out also

have not been to lagos don't hear good things though.....

personally I don't like ACC but have talked to a few people that go out to eat and they say a few restaruants are good....

ABV is new have been a few times but only one layover longer than 8 hrs... sat by the pool and worked on the tan!!

depends on what you are looking to get out of the trips!!

This is why I will not bid the ER until I'm very much senior to avoid Africa. I did a couple of trips to Africa with the USAF. Even though we had the deet and doxycycline, several crewmembers always got sick despite our best efforts. One of our guys came down with some pretty scary stuff (insect related not viral or bacterial) and he was on some serious meds for a while.

I know 99% of DAL crew members go to Africa and experience no problems at all. For me, it just isn't worth the risk of potential health problems. I'd rather be drinking Guinness in Dublin, eating schnitzel in Germany, or having some chicken bulgolgi with soju in Korea.

Incredible and timeless speech.
