You're most welcome. As you have probably already figured out, Arik isn't exactly the airline they should be / could be. The turn over rate of management is high. They still don't pay on time. Etc, etc, etc.
Another new manager just stepped in 1 Dec, and has made the usual grandiose plans and promises (thankfully, he spared us the "Emirates of Africa" blather that was popular last month). We've heard this stuff so many times now from so many managers, I doubt many pilots will even take notice.
Good luck with your training, and remember, it's a big world outside of Nigeria.
