Guys,
The students sent to Zaria is a very commendable move by arik, i'd like to see more carriers do that in future, my only fear is whether they'll get good enough training there; as i hear it, most of the instructors there have left due poor pay 'again'.
I dont remember a time where it was claimed by arik that Nigerian pilots were weak, i just know quite a lot of them rejected the offers recieved due to the crappy pay that was offered at that time.
And like Vk, they are currently reviewing the figures upwards in the hope that it might attract more locals.
I know of some that just arrived from training in canada, who accepted the offers the way they were given in the same hope those of Vk did; that things would look up thereafter.
I hear arik inaugurates tomorrow, dont know how true, but thats what i hear; or at least something like that.
