Air Peace
Don’t touch it with a 10 foot pole. Don’t know what they are offering for pay, but the triple guys took a 50% pay cut and the place they put you in for housing is crap and myself and my roommates got sick with malaria and typhoid after taking all precautions and pills and vaccine. So, run away! They still owe me money, but blame it on COVID to not pay me.
Nigerian airlines have a long history of conning foreign pilots into working for them for free. The standard game is to keep promising that the salary is "coming soon". The longer the pilot stays, the harder it is to walk away from what is "owed". I met an Arik pilot that had been working for free for 13 months, still believing that his back pay was "coming soon". Then as soon as there is a Nigerian pilot available who is type-rated and available, you will lose your work permit anyway, and they probably won't even pay your ticket home as they will accuse you of "breaching your contract". And once you are out of the country you have no chance at all to recover what is owed to you. On top of that, Lagos is just an appalling place to live.

Stay away
Air peace and its DO, Victor Egonu is pure poison and you will be treated as dirt as I was as a B777 Captain for 2 years. The owner is even worse and lies through his teeth. I know if you need a job but you will regret it taking this job.

The place is a piece of crap to work at, they pay you less than agreed and once in country they can do to you what they want. Nigerians will never change towards expats of different colour. They almost killed a guy that was in my housing , refusing to send him and pay for a proper medical treatment for malaria. Egounu will talk a good talk but don’t ever trust him or the Chairman, count your fingers after shaking hands with them.

What kind of accommodation can be expected in Lagos for bachelors ?
Can your family visit once in a while ? And this ‘transportation’ from home to airport. Is it like a pick up or individual ?
Thanks.

Accommodation is crap and you will get sick with malaria and typhoid as a he water is not filtered and mosquitoes get in very easily. Air Con leaks and does not work all the time and the electricity goes out many times even with a back up generator. Why would you want to bring your family to a crap whole? Why would you even take this job? You must be desperate. One of my roommates almost died there with malaria and 2 others did. So, if you can stay away!

So, what happened to Victor Egonu? Did he die of natural causes? I know him years ago and was shocked to learn of his passing. R.I.P.
PM me if you wish.
