Stop whining and accept the facts... move on!!!!
BTW I would now more than ever before seriously doubt flying any of your local airlines..... I might end up sitting behind you somewhere
I am a Nigerian
I have worked as an expat outside Nigeria
I was fed housed and transported
I was paid far higher than the locals
Would you accept to work in a fellow West African country say freetown,monrovia, goma or abidjan and not expect some extra?

Balewa,
I understand you're P1 and the expat was P2? So what's wrong with your airline, is it that hard to get a P2 in there? Get a guy fresh out of flight school, train him and put him in the seat... Why you need an expat for that? I hope not to baby sit you....

Maurice, Captain Rant Brant is a Captain just like I am and secondly, no, you got it quite wrong Sir, the fact is I was in there to babysit this fella and release him on flight after he returned from a long stay with a new validation from the NCAA.
And yes we do have quite a number of youngsters in flight school sponsored by the airline whom we expect to start in the company at the end of this year, with another 16 to commence in the summer.
Please keep your insults to saturday nights Bry with your buddies
and do me a favor fill up the clipboard and monitor the Radio 
The fact remains that I have said and made no insulting comments concerning Expatriate pilots in Nigeria. It still baffles me why SA pilots have such an attitude towards the locals here in Lagos. I know its all about milking as much as possible from Nigeria so whats their problem.

Balewa, you are never surprised by the the reactions and posts of South Africans because you can never stop pulling out and playing the race card. As if you have a chip on your shoulder or an inborn inferiority complex. Get over it and get a life.
If you know its all about milking "Nigeria" - then why is your industry in the situation it is in, with knowledgeable people like yourself you guys should long ago have been self sufficient with homegrown expertise and local flyers and not requiring expat personnel. Why only wake up now?
By the way, its not always about milking Nigeria, market forces internationally determine supply and demand and trends and prices. Its about foresight and ambition and getting the best deal possible, no matter where, anywhere in the world, that's how anybody gets ahead in life.

Well it wasn't meant to insult you, however, judging from the way you write things,I think you're not telling us the truth. This makes absolutely no sense: "Maurice, Captain Rant Brant is a Captain just like I am and secondly, no, you got it quite wrong Sir, the fact is I was in there to babysit this fella and release him on flight after he returned from a long stay with a new validation from the NCAA."

Balewa, get a life. Now suddenly it's the South Africans' fault? As I understand, they are stuck with quite few of your expats, most of whom are in "trade" rather than other industries. Certainly not aviation. The guys from SA are probably the only people in the world who really know anything about race. Except Idang Alibi, of course - if he has not been sniped yet. One of your country's wiser men.

The amusing thing here is that Captain Rant Bark is not complaining about the size of his paycheque but its size in relation to that ofthe locals. So his paycheque is still as attractive as it was when he decided to leave his first world country and posh high paying job to make the ultimate sacrifice and come and work in a third world country all in an attempt to help the human race. How generous of him.
Captain bark bark due to his large cheque and pea brain actually thinks he is something better than the locals and hence he should be paid better. So what is the issue here
Should expats be paid hansomely to compensate them for their inconviences as agreed in their contracts( even though i still cannot figure why they dont stay at home if the third world is as horrible and dangerous as they say)?
Or is it more important that they are paid more than the locals ( to compensate for any inferiority complex they might have latently)
In the expat contract does it state " Thou shall always be paid more that the locals no matter what" ?
