Re: A340Boy's Rambling Commentary

You seem to be proud of the fact that you are multi-lingual and maybe rightfully so. But the last time I checked, the standard ICAO language of aviation is still English so being bi-lingual, tri-lingual, multi-lingual or cunni-lingual is a nice skill to have, but unless you are completely fluent in those other languages, in your future aviation path I would not recommend you try and showcase your skills by talking to a foreign air traffic controller in a language you think you know, when ATC might assume you have a mastery of that language and will start to give you instructions you might misinterpret (you know how it is when you try and walk and chew gum at the same time..or in this case fly and chew gum).
Such a mistake could be a recipe for disaster which is why ICAO tries to standardize communication procedures by making English the language of choice. No offense to you, but I have to say that after reading some of your previous posts and trying to decipher your thought process by the way you arrange your written words, you might want to focus on mastering the English language first before embarking on other ventures. If you've got heavy jet time in the Airbus and you're confident in your ability then go out and do big things in the world of aviation..don't settle. The Nigerian aviation community is under no obligation to conform to your needs so if you feel the need to malign them then take your gripe elsewhere...I can say with some degree of confidence that the contributors to this thread aren't too sympathetic to guys who put down the aviation accomplishments in Nigeria...but thats just my $0.02 cents.
By the way this goes out to the masses; I interviewed with Virgin Nigeria at Gatwick ten days ago and our group was told to expect a yes or no email by Feb 8th on whether we're invited back for round two in the simulator...its been a quiet ten days. Does anyone who has interviewed with them and gotten a call back for the sim have a timeline to expect from the first interview to a call for the second?

Thanks For Your Support Ray

One day after I had I put out my previous post inquiring if anyone had heard any results back from the VN interviews from last week, I received an acknowledgement email from VN that I had made it through the first round of the interview process and could expect to be contacted with an invitation for the simulator assessment in the UK.

I sent an application form off about a month ago and last week got an email asking if I could go for an interview. I’ve said yes but not been told where or when yet, so not too sure? It might be worth sending in an application form in though.

Coincidentally, I sent my CV in last night. Are you a Nigerian national, or foreign? Any idea on what equiment their hiring for?

[stue]

No, I’m from the UK. Like I said though, I haven’t heard anything back yet. I’m not really too sure on what they are hiring for either? No idea on the pay side too? So your guess is as good as mine really........

Good luck though!
