Thumbs up

Mr Frogging Man,
We have joined nobody, because as the Nigerian centre of excellence people are always flocking to our door looking for employment and joining us. It is well known that we will pay no ransom and nobody would dare kidnap one of our employees because they know what daddy would do to them if they tried.
Unfortunately we have had to stop flying 2 of our helicopters now, because the technical department has been so busy with promotions and reorganisation that it slightly overlooked the ridiculous needs of the authority to have FDRs in helicopters over 2730 kg. We did manage to still keep them going for a month before anyone noticed. I’m sure that when daddy speaks to him though, that nice Mr Pedro in Portugal will agree to finance it all – after all how will he ever eventually get his helicopters back if he doesn’t? Not many people have noticed the lack of working transponders because there is no radar in so many places. Naturally some of our competitors are always wanting to know where our helicopters are so they can try to steal our business and the lack of transponders means they cannot find out. That’s the sort of far-sighted planning which is keeping us the centre of excellence we are.
With the present shortage of pilots in Nigeria our far-sighted policy of offering only 5/1 posts to staff is working and we can have at least one pilot in our helicopters at all time. We are able to offer instant commands to any pilot with even CPL without tiresome need for command training or area training. We know a good man and training only eats into profit base. I know these things because I went to proper university where we were taught so many things with book and computer. Once a pilot is trained if he needs training again it just goes to prove he was not properly trained in the first place.
One thing has changed, however. We do not much like this S92 because things always seem to be breaking on it and this also is bad for profit base. So we shall soon be the centre of excellence for EC225 in Africa. We shall be flying them single-pilot on our fabulously successful shuttle operation in Lagos. We will also soon be starting a fabulously successful offshore operation with our incredibly versatile Squirrel helicopter because we have floaters and all manner of safety goods for them and they are still flying. So, if you’re looking for quick command, fantastic opportunities for promotion and success, come and join the team that has already made us known worldwide as the Nigerian centre of excellence.
Mr ti snot
dady is looking with typical farsightedness at converting one of our damaged tanker into offshore centre of excellence to base all our EC225. The luxurious acomodations with all catering supplied by management of Imo Concourse Hotel will doubtless lead to us having to beat job-seekers away from our door. The 5/1 roster on this luxury floater will set standards never before seen on this continent.
