Sounds like pretty slim grounds for dismissal to me. Maybe he should try suing them - right . One of the really good things about working for a wholly Nigeria company is that your chances of ever getting a fair deal from them or being able to take them to court about anything are about on a par with Bob Mugabe being the next Pope!! . Remember that there was a lot of stuff here about 'the Ebullient One' being kicked out under police escort when he upset one of the company managers. Maybe that's why they don't have many pilots (though in all fairness with only 2 helicopters and their people on 12 weeks on; 4 weeks off - except for the guys on the even better deal of 5 months on: 1 month off - on bachelor status!! ) they probably don't need many people. I hear they only have 2 expat pilots working for them now anyway, plus a couple on loan from Heliportugal.
Moral of the story - think twice about working for a Nigeria company unless you're getting paid (a lot of money) in advance
