Arik Airlines?

[Myster79]

Anyone have info on Arik out of Lagos. I am considering a position with them and I would appreciate any info.

Thanks

Unless you've spent a lot of time in Nigeria in the past, I'd seriously reconsider working there. Lagos is without a doubt the arsehole of Africa. Very high crime rate, traffic like you've never seen before, unbelievable pollution and sewer problems and nothing works the way it should.

People either love Africa or hate it. I've travelled extensively (I mean really travelled - no airline layovers in 5 star hotels!) in 25+ African countries and I love it there but I'd never, ever consider living in Lagos. If Arik offered a Kano or Abuja base it might be worth looking into.

Sorry I don't know much about Arik but maybe someone on the pprune Africa forum could help.

Same as I am interviewing for. Did you get a good feel for the job? I like the money. However I am not that hard up. Any more interview help would be appreciated.
