VK got the recruitment of local pilots very wrong, they were under the illusion that they could offer a pittance wage and it would be gracefully accepted. VK has now been forced to visit a recruitment agency to source its crew, which will of course cost a lot more.
VK will end up with a lot more Caucasian faces in it's cockpits than the locals a good advert for it. My fear is that these agency employees will only be there for the type rating, experience and bugger off back to where they came from seeking better employment opportunities after a few years, VK will be a good training ground for them.
We Nigerian’s have to wakeup to the fact that the clock is being turned back to decades past.
LJT for your information only very few guys accepted the offer for what ever reasons while most did not. Most of us pilots here in Nigeria do have self pride and dignity, so please don’t taint us all with the same brush.
