Market dictates one thing,common sense another,profesionalism and proficiency something else. We all know that. So it would be nice to keep these local guys trained and make them future captains with some good skils and knowledge as long as they have the basics and abilities going with that task. Nowdays there are many companies in Nigeria but few young pilots with solid training behind them and not allready spoiled in "lets all be captains in six months". I realy think that those should have top priority in employment. Rest should rely on small operators with bad safety record and no strong policies for safty and ops. I wellcome all off the guys previosly mentioned in aviation comunity but I don't think that any serious company would accept "Any local is better than expat" as long as they want prosperity and growth that will provide many,many new guys from Nigeria to come and become captains of the future Nigerian aviation.
