Payday at Arik Air
Yet despite all of this - the drive and passion to carry on is still there and I know that many of my unpaid collegues feel the same, so in closing I soldier on regardless and if all goes tits up I will be the last one to turn off the lights and lock the door to my office.
It's people like you that makes life so much more difficult for the rest. If everyone takes a positive stand, things change. However, in Nigeria, this is a load of old cobblers.
Fifi, you stay there and work for nothing. You will be thought of no better than the next person. In fact, experience has shown me that the more willing tend to go first, so don't worry about being responsible for turning the lights out, you will have already departed!

Some of you guys sound like you own the airline or you have shares in it, cos you feel so bitter other folks want to sign on.
last time i checked, it's still a free world, so you can,t discourage anyone from joining any airline they want to for reasons best known to them or for what they might consider is in the best interest of their career.
If you.re so upset with Arik for late pay, there are plenty of other airlines you can apply to like VK, First Nation, Dana etc, or look futher to Emirates, Qatar etc (if you're sure of yourself) rather than stick to Arik and constantly compain, whine and discourage anyone who shows intrest ,as if its the only airline in the world.

What kind of a knob would not have the common sense to realize that he/she is screwing fellow pilots EVERYWHERE by offering to work for FREE? Not only is it naive and foolish it is outright self centered. Having a rich daddy who paid for a type rating at 150 hours, doesn't excuse you from undercutting, no downright stealing from fellow pilots.
I stand firmly behind that.
Now back to Arik, who happens to be hiring pilots for 2 out of 3 1/2 fleets. Want a job with a good rotation, but a lot of ****e to deal with? Come on over and get paid (sometimes). Enjoy your own ****e sandwich in The Centre of Excellence. Just don't be an arse and offer to do it for less or FREE for f**k sake. Have some dignity for your own self worth and show your fellow pilots some respect.
If you want to work for free, go be a missionary.

Appears as though Arik is going to get its own compound for the pilots. The question is: when they stop paying themselves to operate it, will the pilots have to pay for their own food?

While the house is burning down, I'll guess that Fat Man and his stupid kid are popping around the world in the Global Express?
I hope there is somebody with some airline smarts who can take some repo'd Boeing 737NG's, four CRJ-900's, and some Dash-8's and Hawkers, and make a real airline in Nigeria.
What day is the president's election?

That election...is it not...16 April? Some speculation that there will be no salaries before then or later if there is a run off. Or maybe not until a couple of weeks after the swearing in!!!!!!!!!!!???????????
