Dont no why you lot work for Scam Air...must be the beutiful life style in Lagos and those excellent top gun Nigerian captains as something keep you there... Stop moaning about them not pay you and just leave..
No brainer.. Plenty more 73 jobs out there now than before
Its the end of the road for Arik Air, dont pay wages, planes confiscated, huge debt etc...you will be paying your own hotel soon, and flying for free like Eagle Jet haha

@ Tony
I actually refused to fly with her on a separate flight, and physically walked off the plane. I did not fly. Because she was a captain, and me just a lowly nobody, I was specifically passed over for upgrade from my refusal to fly with her (and denied any opportunity to transfer to the Boeing fleet as an FO). I left very shortly after that for my next job.
She was, without a doubt, the worst pilot I ever have flown with in 25 years that I've held a pilot's license. I'm equally confident that Arik Air will forever be the worst company of any kind that I have, or will have, worked for!

Impressive, 25 years in aviation and still in the RHS of a CRJ flying in Africa.. You must be a real hotshot yourself then...
That's me.... a substandard pilot who worked for an equally substandard airline. A match made perfect in Africa. Who else would work in that environment and not get paid on time?
Let me guess, you got a piece of that action, right? If not, you're one of the few.

A little local difficulty I bet !
Anyone seen the Arik MD on youtube doing interview with news programme, love the answer on fuel hedging, thought he was going to refer to trimmers !

Chris is definitely Not the brightest spark! Probably suffering from some level of deafness since he only managed to comment on less than a quarter of the questions asked or perhaps has no real idea about fuel hedging strategies.
Based on this interview,I recommend he either steps down as MD, fire his media adviser or

The MD OF ARIK- THE COMPANIES BILL BOARD
If that is the best of Arik Air can do, then it is a shame 
The Emirates of Africa does not stand a chance......
Bring back JH. At least he would have covered their short comings with a professional tongue
