Thumbs down

That'll be the continuing expansion that's seen them go from 1 Agusta 109E (sold) to 2 365Ns (now grounded due to lack of CVFDR) plus 2 AS350B2s (one still flying - so let's see, that's an expansion from 1 Agusta 109 flying to 1 AS350B2 flying! ). The e-mail address is that of the executive Vice Chairman, who promises the earth and that's about what you end up getting paid. The expats who are there now are not on 3/1 (much worse) despite the fact that they were conned into thinking that's what it would be. Every other operator in Nigeria now offers equal time contracts and they still think they can con people into working 3/1. They don't have an AW139, though there are rumours that NLNG may buy one and lease it to them (presumably until that, too falls through). This is a company which in 3 years has been through 2 Managing Directors, 3 Operations Directors, has recently fired its Chief Pilot and has overall had a turnover of at least 8 pilots.
Caveat emptor!
