The best person(s) to form a union at Arik are those who have already been fired / quit / ran from the company, and would like to give something back !!!

I'd like to buy a beer or three this Saturday eve, but without some quid, I'm probably just going to sit and think about how best to form a union.:cool:

My Rolex is still ticking ;)

Yeah but...
 

That is the one you bought on Bar Beach for $50, right? I have one too, around here somewhere... Oh, yeah, there it is on my wrist!

At least they still have money for new aircraft. A332 is delivered...

Tick Tock, Tick Tock

Tick, Tick, Tock Tick

Tock, Tock, Tock Tock.

This watch must be Made in Absurdistan.

Hi guys,

Looks to me like "TIA" (this is Africa")..
Got a potential offer with Arik as an A330 Skipper through a UK based broker. Would working for Arik through a broker make life easier or pay day more accurate?
How about the rest? What is it like to work with them? :uhoh:
Fire off, guys or else pm me.

Depends on the broker, some will pay you, and pay you on time, regardless of what the cr@p airline does. Others (the majority unfortunately) don't have the foresight/balls to ask the airline for the money in advance, so if they ain't paid, toi non plus.
If there is a clause in the contract stating "if the airline does not pay us we are not responsible Bla Bla Bla", well, don't say they didn't warn you. Tread carefully.

I wonder how the man on the chair(the chairman) can expect his staff to run his airlines with a good interest when he is treating them like this... still no juice!

:ugh:

Thx, CaptPlay, will consider that.

Apart from that, anyone more info on rosters, accommodation en route, training, cockpit atmosphere etc? Will the company hold up for another year?

"The Big Oga" syndrome is clearly at play here with Arumemi Johnson and his son. There's money in the company yet he chooses to en slave the workforce. Maybe the pilots dont acknowledge his presence enough, perharps when he comes onboard he's expecting a special PA to the pax informing them the "Big Cheese" is on board, and then maybe all the pax should be asked to stand up and acknowledge him. Something like that. That might bring the pay date back maybe 3days. What he needs is a good beating or perharps a refferal to the EFCC. That tends to humble a lot of these big politicians/thieves.

Leave rotations canceled for all CRJ Pilots as of the other day. Interesting move by the management in the face of recent Pilot resignations.

Pay still not in the bank but we are all getting fairly used to that.

The Dang thing
 

Chuck, Glad these dang things still work, but it's slowing down now as everyday passes ticccck toooock. I will be getting it's next wind up, next payday that's if I've got the strength too.

Pops out the Bag
 

Not quite so HP. He is like a little mouse on board, seen but not heard, that's until the main gear touches down, then!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!.

Well...
 

If you or your Bar Beach Rolex need a wind-up you have come to the right place!

Ok, just thinking about the registration letters for the chairman's GlobalX:


Very Quickly Broke Johnson Arumemi


With a change in president of Nigeria, there may be a change to the fortunes of Arik's back door flow of government cash. This airline will probably be around in a year or more, but only on momentum. It's a completely leadership devoid entity plowing through time until momentum is spent.

My salary clock is broke, and I have no money to fix it. So, I'll tap on my beer glass:

Tink, Tink, Tink, Tink, Tink..................................

Just pulled this from the Virgin Nigeria thread:

"Grapevine has it that W3 CP has put in his letter. Had it up to his gazookas with --- you tell me. Word is end of June, he'll take a graceful exit. Pity. Nice chap.
Gave a lot of guys opportunities on the NG and CRJ, and even A340. Hope he goes to VK."


If I recall, he made a similar announcement last year, with a 1 Sept 2009 date. That never transpired, so don't know if this is just a ploy to demand more money, or not.

I dont know what the poor guy gets a month, but whatever it is, he needs a raise. To put up with all that BS from AJ takes a special kind of person.

@Oyindo, what you need to do is fly him through one of those massive CB's between Benin and PH. That should put the fear of God into him. I'm sure he'll sign all the cheques b4 you land.

Does this mean that they will be hiring pilots?? I need a job.

You need your head examining. Great first post, let's hope your next few are as funny as this one!

I heard that they shut down the entire Arik fleet this morning for about 2 hours for non-payment of government fees for ATC.

Still no pay check.

Clonk, click, clack, crack, bang, pop, poop.........
