Arik Air - Travel Information...

Pretty amusing!

Have a look at both of these pages:

Arik Air Wings of Nigeria - Travel Information

SriLankan Airlines - Travel Planner / Travel Tips

Perhaps Arik Air should be a bit more careful next time when ripping off another airline's homepage especially as they also forgot to change "SriLankan" in one sentence.

Hi!

Just met a former mgmt pilot for them at a job fair in MIA.

He had just left Arik and said they were hopeless-recommended not going there.

No, there,s a lot of issues with Arik Air.

If you think of it as contract work, like we RSAers do, you'll be fine.

Its when people from the rest of the world start getting involved, they can't hack it.

Go to Nigeria, do you 8 weeks or so, then go home. Don't expect any love or tenderness on the part of the company. Do expect to live in security, and have escorts to/from the airport. The perdiem has been whacked, as one of my mates who was there a couple years ago was making much more just in allowances. Also, don't plan on making it a career.

here here!

You could never think of it as a career move. They don't deserve any ex-pat considering it a career airline either..........

one of MANY issues try being laughed at when you expect to be paid on pay day! Seriously
