Thumbs down Nigerian Shortages

There's an entry on another thread on this forum that probably best sums up why so many pilots are flying more than ever in Nigeria, despitemanagements telling us that we have more than enough and a pile of applications pending:

To put it another way, it is a shortage of pilots prepared to work for peanuts, under continuously deteriorating employment conditions.


I also hear that yet another expat has left Caverton, probably the first they employed and the man who got everything set up for them in Lagos. I wonder who'll now take on that job and what will happen to standards at the 'centre for excellence'. That company must have the highest percentage turnover rate of any helicopter company in Nigeria for both nationals and expatriates.
