Hi TomBola,
I worked for Bristow Nigeria 13 years, but left for the final time about about 18 months ago. In some ways I feel people who work in Nigeria for an extended period become like longterm prison inmates. After being out of the environment it's hard to believe the amount of abuse people are willing to tolerate.
As for the question of expatriate pilots organizing in Nigeria, I have a question other readers might be able to explain. All the operators have an allocation of work permits issued from the Nigerian government. The only reason foreign pilots are allowed to work in Nigeria is due to a shortage of National pilots. I just wonder were the breakeven point is for training more national pilots, who are less expense, compared to raising the cost of expatriate pilots falls? Any comments would be of interest.
Cheers,
