RH will be sorely missed, if it is true that he jumped ship from W3. He was a breath of fresh air, now we have got to find someone else now to focus the radar on. Now lets see, How about a self acclaimed pilot with loads of A330 time and never flew it before joining the W3 mgt as ..........

All this talk frightens Arik interviewees...its the like of Arik or go bye 500hrs on type.I'd take the 1st option..only God knows what awaits me,fingers crossed....
I'm guessing that the most important question asked at interview would go along the lines of "So, you've been here a month and your contacted salary date is 16th of each month. We've failed to pay you on this date, how do you feel about this?"
Depending on your answer, the interview could be cut early!

Actually,it looks like they overlooked my baby 300hrTT,it looks like My newly acquired Nigerian passport may help....they have responded positively with my FAA CPL and my new (and proudly acquired)737NG/classic type rating...

Political Pilot?
Hmmn, what a name, i am sure it will get you those responses you are proud of from Arik. Advice: take anything from them with a pinch of salt because the left & right are not sychronised.
Before you know it 6 months down the line, you can't fly because you can't go to sim because your proud employer isn't up to date with their financial obligations.
And unless as your name suggests your old man is Goodluck/Tinubu/OBJ/ARIK JOHNSON, then you maybe drinking lots of GARI everyday to pay for your proud shiny type rating. Imagine when the aircraft owners repossess another one ala the A330, would you be happy to go on unpaid leave?
If as you say you have your own type, go for a more stable employer who pays ontime with no stories. An employer who values its employees and their families.
Kill the ants in your pants & think properly before making the wrong choice, its not about new planes but the bread, happiness & less GARI.

NINJA
It is not every one who pays for his own type rating that pays with his blood.I have read every post in this forum.LATE PAY SUCKS.I guess it could be said that i am infected with the "first Airline job syndrome".The plan was to buy the hours and go to Vietnam or china.... but i knew i wouldn't be able to live with myself if i did that(considering what i was doing to other pilots).
The Nigerian dudes that came to my flight school all got jobs.I'd thought i'd give it a try......I dont know anywhere else in the world where low timers (400hrs and below) get hired by Airlines.perhaps only their Nationals...mom is Nigerian,am happy i got the passport.

pilots need to stop paying for type ratings and flight time.......you are killing the business......you are taking a job from a perfectly qualified Nigerian who was flying a Dash or 1900 or Citation or any other aircraft.....
That pilot should be sent to training and paid for by Arik to fly the 737/CRJ or any other aircraft in the fleet.....If they can't find anyone in Nigeria to fly those aircraft....then they find expats who are current, qualified and high time before someone who just went out and bought a rating...
Just my opinion

Salary Payments
For those that are interested:
I spoke with the accounts department in London this morning to obtain an estimate on when we might be paid. The gentlemen on the other end of the call, said he had no idea.

Wake Up
@Unionizeit11,If you are patient enough to read half of the earlier posts,you will get to understand that flying for Arik is a vocation that requires no payment,pilots fly for fun thus it is free,you can log your 500hrs on NG type and scram.Wake up you seem to be floundering

nobody knows
but most lie and say they have 500 on type before they get here to" la la land." SO why the rush to fly for free...anyone fancy the chairman shoving his fist up your _ _ _ ? Apparently alot of gentlemen do around here. 
I would like to know if anyone can take a shot at guessing how the post "election" results will favor arik? So far I hear plenty of talk but will it be one big lump sum payment to "settle all payments ???"
Will Goodluck make all the bad men and debt collectors go away? Exciting days ahead.
