Totally true ! There is very little value in flying around in a straight line everyday . If BHNL really wanted to improve the quality of Nigerian commanders they would insist on several thousand hrs of turbine single engine command time! Hold on what about Escravos? What a perfect place to get every one who progresses into the 76 or larger the "pucker factor" experience they need, so they don't freak out when a Chanel craps the bed ! Might slow down the nationalization program a bit but it's about flight safety isn't it ?
They may even learn skills like hands on flying!! Wow would that be big! Odd how all these Nigerian commanders aren't leaving BHNL and doing aerial construction on the 64 or real helicopter work that requires a skill set. You can make more money after all!
Nothing to do with flight safety I'm afraid everything to do with
saving face me thinks!
This external audit business will in all likely hood be done by a Nigerian company - few paper envelopes for the boys and nothing will evolve.
Taking bets!
