I know far too many very good pilots who simply walked away without the salaries they were owed as soon as they had an offer from somewhere else. I wouldn't say that Arik had / still have a seperate line in the P&L for ' UNCLAIMED SALARY ' but if they did, it would be quite a large figure.
A few years ago, the expectation was that ARIK was going to be the only airline in the world where the number of aircraft was more than the number of pilots on the payroll.
Late pay + Lagos base = Only if you're desperate.

It's getting better... Apparently Lufthansa Technik finally pulled the plug...looks like they are going to write off Millions of €'s ...
No money for maintenance, no money for salaries, no money for nothing...at the same time announcing new aircraft orders..... Pathetic !!!!!

Colleagues DO NOT COME TO ARIK
Dear pilots.
Unless you have been fired from your actual employer and have no other job or you are not current DO NOT EVER COME TO ARIK.
Work and not getting paid (10th December and we are still waiting for August salary)
Having to pay for your own tickets and working visa and not getting your money back.
Not getting night allowances unless you beg several times for it.
Not knowing which will be your next sector or waiting 8 hours to be refueled because marketer has not been paid for fuel.
Using horrible hotels and having to wait for your room until hotel gets paid in advance (other way they will not be paid never ever)
Having DFO,CP and fleet manager telling you that you have to fly even I the company owes you 4 month salaries...
That is ARIK.

African pilots tend to have a harder time attracting employment prospects outside of Africa than non-Africans. Africans tend to have a harder time attracting employment prospects INSIDE of Africa than non-Africans. The possible exception being White South Africans. There are many reasons why. One reason is that African licenses are difficult to verify even inside of Africa. One CAA will not commmunicate with another CAA to verify a pilots license, due to incompetence, laziness or because their employer told them not to. Also, even inside of Africa, a person with a foreign license from Europe or the US will be more attractive than a pilot from the other side of the continent. And in fact, a country like Nigeria will have closer ties to Europe or the US than another African nation.

How much is the NCAA to blame in lack of oversight for the conditions which finally led to Arik's recent strike?

Anyone who thinks of working here; don't! I flew for a related subsidiary and got well and truly screwed. Owed me a small fortune and despite action avoided paying. Crooks and liars.

I used to live across the road from their HR Manager. You would not believe (or perhaps you would) the house he had. I used to see all sorts of delivery trucks arrive with fancy household items, dishwashers, OLED TVs etc. He was on generator 24/7. Big money.
By the way, I was in a run down humble flat........
