Naija Pilots Census

[Ray D'Avecta]

Hello fellow Naija Guys and Gals,

Its good to see more and more of us appearing on pprune, and also to see good, intelligent debate on all issues affecting aviation in Naija.

I was just wondering how many of us are pilots, how many are involved in aviation management, how many of us are Nigerian expatriates , etc. This info may help us to raise our level of discussion and start to consolidate the aviation fratenity in naija.

I know some of us already know each other, (DMan - I think say I sabi you :cool: ) but maybe just a small informal intro (no real names or employer if you do not want to) to start.

I'll kick off:

Ray D'Avecta

Based: Amsterdam
Sex : Male

Over to you.....................................

Nice one Ray D'Avecta, I think it would do us a lot of good. Can I also suggest that everyone actually put down the name of their companies. That way we always know where to direct our enquiries when looking for "info". Here we go.

ACN_Pilot
Pilot - First Officer
Aero - "The Reliable way to fly" (lol)
Base - DNMM

I sabi you also, how KLM ?, will call later. Perhaps we could go a step further and organise a bash or something. I am guessing finding the time to do it will be the main killer, worth a try.

GF,
Is that Bahrain International (BAH). I did not realise there are a few FS2 pilots like us around. This is the closest I will ever get to a simulator recurrent.:hmm:
EN,
I would look at the commuters, if you buy a B737-300 type on your way into Naiga you would most likely be snapped up by one of the B737 operators. I note from ASO rock will help too.
Good luck.
