PanAm
PanAm has a relatively high standard and is approved by the NCAA. Don't make the mistake of over paying them though as you will go through hell trying to get your money back.

It will be foolhardy for the airline to employ any low hour pilots right now as they currently have about 10 second officers, 5 of which have not started training.
The only pilots being hired at the moment are those who have the above requirements as they are in a position to contribute to the airline immediately.
I believe that low hour pilots will once again be considered once the current set of first officers start getting checked out of line training.

Young Nigerian just finished CPL/ME and Planning on doing a 737 type rating. Hope to join any of the airlines flying the 737 in Nigeria but need advise on if to do the 737NG or 737Classic type rating??
Aero, Chanchangi and Air Nigeria fly Classics and are presently not paying for anyone's type ratings. If you have connections in Arik, dont pay for a type rating. They'll give you one.If not, go get a classic type rating.
By the way, Aero Contractors are in need of Nigerian CPL holders below 24 years old to sponsor for the DHC8 type rating and you'll be bonded for 3 years. Not a bad deal if you ask me.
Good luck mate

Yes, I'm on their website. They ask you to post your resume but it won't accept it. As far as my ATP, I did the 737 type rating and ATP ride in the sim, so I have no time in the actual aircraft.

My experience has been, do l need to say this?, l suppose not, one of
awakening.
As long as the powers that be fiddle their logbooks, experience, and
employ relatives who fiddle their logbooks, experience, and they employ
relatives .......
only there for a year mind, so l may have missed something.
