2500 no type???
2500 with no type?
You will need the type with more than likely some time on type. If you're an expat (not from nigeria) it will pretty much be tough to get on anything here. A 2500 hr expat means absolutely nothing here or at least to management. We've got guys 2000-8000hr fo's sitting on Q400s, CRJ9's, with airbus & 737types who merely get laughed at when asking about movement to Airbus or NG's; or potential movement to the left seat at 4000hrs.
Arik needs pilots (local&expat) alike but continues on a path of greed, mismanagement/corruption and self destruction. Most of the newer Expat fo's (not many) have done timebuilding programs elsewhere or were seasonal pilots at other airlines. Mostly NG drivers..for expats recent hires. Arik receives a few local fo's from 737classics (aero/vna) who are chasing NG time.
If you are a Nigerian they will hire you, pay for your 737NG type and put you on the line at 250 hours total time. Then they will proceed to give you all necessary training to get you signed off.(very few exceptions)
Arik is a game of concessions....how much can you give up to work a Nigerian airline!
