How the stabbing of a young woman led Arik air
The canadian Chief pilot/Head of training (Randall Trent Howe) arrived at safi without a licence to fly any of its aircraft or any training qualifications on its aircraft.
Whilst working at Arik and against their request he obtained a 330 rating, but after 5 hours of flying he was caught flying without a medical (he has dyslexia) and was and still is suspended by the Nigeria CAA. His 330 hours were reduced to zero....FACT
Whilst there he went to Airbus to do an instructors course but he failed the course. Whilst his training partner was getting debriefed, he STOLE the course completion certificate...FACT. Airbus unfortunately prepare these prior to the start of the course and place in the file.
He has used this to convince everyone he has an airbus training qualification...illlegally.
He then did a CCQ course in USA, skill test in canada 330-320 but of course he did not have the required basic minimum amount of hours to do the course or was not current on the 330....guess what? He lied! ..FACT
So now he has an illegal 320 type rating and after 6 sectors flying the airbus he installed himself as a training capt.
He flew one person who had never flown a jet (1400 152hours) who had obtained a canadian 320 licence (no take offs in the actual aircraft), into kabul without a safety pilot as their first flight. Flying over iran, through afghanistan where no radar, kabul, dodgy ILS & VOR and regular 30 knot crosswind....FACT
Now he also only flies in to kabul in the early morning hours before the crosswind starts as he cant manage it.
There are hundreds of examples of his incompetence and stupidity as well as MMcTs. He is MMcTs lapdog, whilst MMcT and the spanish controller fleece safi for every penny they can get.
Many ex-taliban exist within its management and will try and convince you that staying in a hotel that has been blown up twice with crew in, and still is a target of the taliban is safe!
The taliban are the least of your worries!
