Then the guy in the 737 when he saw the A/C tried to drive around it via the grass,got stuck, then opened the taps far enough to produce enough thrust to shear the Nose Leg off. You would presume all these fools went to the same zero standard training school which prints certificates & licences for the right fee of course. Still I suppose this is Nigeria.....
YES! I was aslo flying there for almost 2 yrs, domestic flt from the domestic apron! Crasy!
We had to start the engines and than the pax would run to the plane....Every start was a crasy competition with other domestic jets and the run to the destination...crossing the levels, lies about the DME distances and many stupied things that can happen only in Africa! Lagos is a hell of a mass! What will be next? And pilots are realy printing the ATPL licenses with various endorsements, and finaly they are getting national licences in European country...Y.... Today they are there but in new role as captains!
What`s nex?
