Tokunbo,
Where will they get all the crews from?
I have posted an answer to your question here:

Ok, so the upside is that the airline will for the next 2-3 years be in need of pilots big time. The downside is that the "one-man-managed" airline will have huge problems getting qualified pilots. Right now it seems like it is more important to buy more and more flying machines without the person on top, assisted by the Managing Director, stopping up for a second to find out if their speedy approach to international aviation glory is at all the way to go. You do not have to be Einstein, or in family with Einstein, to understand that without pilots part of their new machines will not fly
.
Unless McTighe gets to the point where he dares tell the top man how an airline shall be operated, and stick to it, Arik will develop itself to be a glorious showroom for new flying machines. Nothing more, nothing less.
But a showroom can have its advantages. When there is no more money to spray into this airline, they can always stage a sell out and invite buyers from all over the world to their Lagos showroom display. Or they can sell their orders. May be that is the scheme
