VK Advert For B733 Drivers On PPrune
There were 5 Kabo 747- 200 on the apron at Kano in April this year. Well 1 was actually being parted out by the aeropllane graveyard!! Of the other 4 only 1 moved during the 2-3 months I was there. I heard it flying twice and saw it land once as well as watchingit go around the apron to stretch it legs 
It might have been 5N-000 but not sure.
They sat on the ground all through the Hamatan sand storms without a single engine blank in place or control lock fitted. I think at least 3 of these aircraft are ex Virgin Atlantic............................what a sad end to their life.

VK Package
Hi gents.
I have been reading the Virgin Nigeria posts and it seems to be very unclear as to what the basic salary/package is.
I am with Emirates and have over 6 years on 330/340 and would be interested in VK as i believe they have JHB basings.
I went onto the website and there are no figures or anything to give one a heads up .I am loathe to go through the whole online application process and find out the package is not remotely suitable.
Anyone have a rough idea of what they offer,purely in terms of money ,basings and prospects .I dont need to know all the nuts and bolts.
Much appreciated.

There is no base in Joburg for crew only options are the UK and Nigeria(Lagos), pay aint nothing to write home about believe me after taxes you make more flying a 737 in Ryan Air than a commander on the A340 or an F/o on the A340. I suspect you have a good package in Emirates and in VK the only way in if you aint Nigerian is through an employment agency and unless you are an experienced TRE/TRI forget the A340.
Best advice i can give is wait a few months till VK knows what the future holds then try applying its not such a bad job, not too much flying nice people and still a family enviroment.
"ARIK ARIK ARIK" Dont forget guys the devil you know is better than the angel you dont.
