Hi!
My buddy is at Arik on the -900. He said from hire date to arival in Lagos, was 5 months.
I am supposed to leave for Nairobi in about a week (after being told I would fly out 1 Mar).
Africa is S-L-O-W.....
It takes a L-O-N-G...time to get anything done.
Schedules are slipped (for my op, 3rd airplane due this month, but now next month), everything takes longer than planned, plans change, etc., etc.
P-A-T-I-E-N-C-E is DEFINTIELY required when you are dealing with African aviation.
