Arik Air has B737 300/700 and CRJ 200/700. Maintenance is quite good for now provided by Luftansa tecniks solid German operation, Crews were mostly American, European and canadian from Avionco etc
Arik is now trying to do hiring of Pilots directly. i do not think that is working out so good due to the negative views about Nigeria.
Lagos is what you make of it. I know Americans who enjoy it out there. If you open your mind. A white man being killled in nigeria is a rare. You will be treated with respect. To enjoy life mix in the society and make local freinds amoung your peers the pilots, engineers, doctors etc. You will discover a new world or you can crouch in your hotel room like ur in a bunker in Iraq. Its your choice.
Abuja is a lot better than lagos safety wise and bueatiful. Lagos is a dirty choatic place just overstressed by a huge population of about 20 million people. A bit like India.
Good luck if you go there.
bueatiful women, Discover Africa fully and maybe get a nice wife. You do not need to find love only in Asia or china via mail order. Africa is a good source of sweet women who love white men.
