This is all very interesting since i have someone wanting me to go on contract in Lagos. I will have to investigate this more, but one thing is certain: I won't budge until I have my salary deposited in advance. This is non-negotiable.

Guys how do you expect an airline to pay in advance its not done anywhere in the world. I understand this thread might suggest otherwise. If you cant trust your employer to pay you dont even attempt coz if they are tight on pay do you think they will splash out for proper maint checks?
Guys if capital offers you a job then make sure they pay for your type in advance, no one should type themselves and (Not too sure but i think NCAA does not allow an airline to tell you to type yourself). At least if they dont pay the first month you get a free type rating.

Nijasea,
You have collected money in advance for flights before. I happen to be priviledged to that info.
Neverthelss, i agree that it's not done anywhere else in the world.
ANYTHING is possble in Nija!
Spoke to Ljt last night, he's pissed with you.
flareout BC,
It is very true, this is not an isolated event. It borders on us all as a nation. What we expect, accept an intend.
Hopefully, it will change someday.

Actually, this problem is not singular to Nigeria. I've flown contract here in the US and not been paid. Had the same thing done to my friends. The truth is, it can happen anywhere. Because of my past experience, I require payment upfront. That's just my policy, regardless if I contract in North American, South America or Africa. As we say in Texas: This ain't my first rodeo
My regards to the two chaps from the UK that flew to Brazil and completed training on their own funds. A lesson hard learned.
Also, thanks to all for the great info on Lagos and Nigeria. Still looking for operational input in terms of the flying.

B737Winglets I have never collected a salary to fly in advance, but when I do Adhoc operations then it is based on a particular flight and not a standing contract to keep flying. Had fun then

NIJASEA,
I'm sure you did.
Looks like you're a bit tired of 'the real flying job' are you?
Need more Landings i hear?
Give me a call if you can, OK?
B737winglets,
As for the plunkers in Capital, they Will be getting summons this week; Not to worry. We have put heads together to deal with this type of behaviour decisively!
This is one thing they have done, they will certainly regret.
They cant always get away with crap like this. These ones will serve as an example to others.
Let the games begin!!!

It's about time ljt.
You guys should let em have it!!
That will serve them right and tell the others we wont take crap like that anymore.
The absence of the rule of law as is commonly quoted by our dear president, is one of the reasons for nasty and embarrassing stuff like this.
Distasteful disgrace!!
I think that company should be shut down!!!!

Ljt,
You will be glad to hear that i went snooping around these guys yesterday and got wind of their latest story.
Apparently, since your friend left the country the 5N aircraft has not left the ground.
That should teach them to pay their crew in future, if they do get out of this one.
They are desperately running around like headless chickens looking for crew to use to make sure that airplane flies.
A serious mess these lot have gotten themselves into.
No-one seems to want anything to do with them.
Shame.....
How's the law suit coming up?

These are serious allegations.
I guess we must be in paradise out here. To think that people can be so manipulative? Beats the hell out of me fellas.
Very disappointing to think that the only resolution to this problem is in court.
I wish you all luck out there. Happy landings.

Ljt,
I thought you should know that the South Africans are in the process of repossession of their EMB120 due to non-payments.
Yesterday apparently, they attempted to leave with their airplane, only for it to by blocked down on the tarmac by a fire truck!
Capital seems to have resorted to guerrilla tactics; shame that this will further engulf Nigeria in the list of 'bad business' partners.
They don't seem to have the 'Capital' to run the business they intended. I wonder why they bothered in the first place?

Winglets,
Thanks for the update.
Like i said before, what goes around, certainly comes around.
This is only the beginning for them. They still have several lawsuits coming up to cope with that threaten their very existence.
I cant wait to see their sad faces when the chips are finally down!!!! That, would be a great laugh!!
AVSEC,
Howdy? Have not heard your voice in these parts for a while; busy?
Anyway, my regards.
Cheers guys.

I really don’t think you should bring up issues like this online when you can easy go to the management to talk things out with Capital Airlines Nigeria. For real, I know sometimes things could go off the hook and one would think of the best possible way to handle it but knowing the consequence of our actions matters a lot when we know that we can easily put other innocents at risk. Assuming a person of high post at Capital Airlines Nigeria is partial and selfish on a certain issue does that make everyone working under Capital Airlines Nigeria a SNAKE, CHEATER, or CORRUPT MINDED? Please Bro, think about it when posting complains and annoying issues on online. Posting such a thing online could really make everyone see the offender clearly but at the same time, you are putting the next innocent good brother that happen to be a friend to the offender at a high risk where the possibility of him experiencing what the offender may go through is certain… Believe me, this positing is really affecting huge customers today not only to Capital Airlines Nigeria but to businesses in Nigeria and Nigerian as a whole.
Safe!
Safe!
