Job in Nigeria

Hi,

I have been offered a job a Legacy 600 F/O for a company named Prime Air Services in Abuja Nigeria. A friend of mine suggest to refuse as he had a bad experience with HAK air. Does anyone have an opinion?
Thank you.

This legacy has been on its way for over 2 years now. Prime Air is a circus. Good luck

Thanks Scrappy. I guess I have to stay away. Do you know any other place to look for a job?

Job in Nigeria

Tolismsnk, try looking at Max Air or Skyjet as a better Legacy operator. Abuja is fine. Just be ready to do long duty days and get messed around on a daily basis. It is a circus, but it pays and it is stable.

For some it is more of a culture shock than for other. I guess it depends where you come from and where you have been.

I cannot comment on Prime Air as I don't know much about their business. I see them flying around here on Lear 40/45. Also heard that the Legacy has been coming for a while. They are very popular around here hence Prime Air wanting to get a Legacy.

If you haven't worked in Africa before, Nigeria will be a challenge. If you have the possibility of a job in Accra - go for that. Ghana is "Africa for beginners" - nice, laid back place.

Prime air is one of the worst operators in Nigeria and their pilots always have problems with pay and they are always getting screwed by their management.
The management is a bunch of idiots with no clue of whats happening

Hak Air

Dear fellow pilots i and a call from Hak Air for a test flight in Kuala Lumpur and then for ferry flight for Logos . I had received 20 emails from the owner and the chief pilot of the company and final we discover that the hole company was a big fraud , the last day of the test flight we discover that the owner captain and rent as to his gost company , have been payed also for as 29000 usd 2 busines class tickets for Kuala lumpur and we did not had insurance for the test flight .After a hard and long convertation in Kuala before the test flight we told us that i dont know you and you have to leave the hotel , he refuse to pay the return ticket to our country and we payd from our pocket .He did not provide any document that we are pilots of Hak air never . FRAUD BE CARFULL WITH THESE GUYS THERE , THEY DONT PROVIDE WORKING VISA BUT ONLY BUSINES VISE WITCH IS ILLEGAL .
They can put you in prison just for nothing , and they dont pay you the salary .
I hope that you will understand that game the Hak air is playing all the time , also i heard that he has a lear jet in sw, and he is looking for pilots to make a ferry flight , BE CARFULL .
