The solution: ask a bailiff to seize the planes in London.

Angry Latest Pay Promises

My sources inform that Big J has put pen to paper to promise April by the tenth & May by twentieth Deja Vu??? Then subsequents on time!

Different this time they say.....is on paper

All this cannot be good for safety. Aircrew flying being owed 2 months pay!
What is the N Authority doing? Oh, i forgot...their boss recently received an award from the Safety foundation for outstanding oversight. And no doubt they passed their ICAO "audit" with flying colors (forgive the pun).

Noone really cares i guess. Pity. Is the way of the world these days. Almost no moral courage to be found anywhere. And no moral conscience even amongst papal nights.

My friends are still waiting! Deadline 10 June for April salary has now passed. So much for the piece of paper signed by the chairman. The man seems to have no honour. And how about his management pilots????

nearly 30 pilot have resigned

Which means there are bunches who are working for free.

I'm confident that they can find plenty of "pilots" to fill those seats.

Are the Nigerian aviation authorities not aware of pilots flying with Arik, Air Nigeria etc while being owed back log of pay? or they don,t consider this a safety issue?
Part of the conditions for an airline to maintain it's AOC is to be financially solvent, so it follows that pilots compelled to fly while a large part of their attention is focused on outstanding obligations and responsibilities due to unpaid salaries is actually subjecting the travelling public to unnecessary risks and the Civil Aviation Authority is duty bound to step in and put pressure on the offending airlines to do the right thing or be sanctioned.

Another option would be to inform the media of this development(assuming its a free and incorruptible press) so as to enlighten the fare paying travelling public of the risks they are being exposed to by pilots salaries delayed for so long

Not only a safety risk because Pilots salaries are not paid 'on time'.

Consider the greatly increased overall security risk because all staff have not been paid for 2 months.

For obvious reasons this situation is not allowed in many states but for some reason the Nigerian authorities seem to overlook the obvious.

It looks as if Arik used a 737-800 from HI FLY TRANSPORTES AEREOS S.A for today's LOS LON LOS rotation. One does wonder ........!
