As a cadet pilot, the airline will train you to be one of their pilots.

Did you send your application?
All da best girly.

Chao.

@m.i

Interesting to see females like me who wants to fly.
An advice for you, if that's ur dream, keep it alive i would say and be proud to do that too.

As for the physics aspect, it is there, i doubt if you can excape it. Everthing has to do with determination and i trust if you really are, you would fly.

We are sisters tribally, and i wish you luck. Would be glad if you will join me fly.

Go girl, make us proud.

Info,

Thanks all the same for the information.

Hello house, watz up? where is every1?

@Bim-29,
how are you, while the long silence?
How about your friends with virgin, have they done their interviews, they should keep us posted.
My sponsors and i no longer have ties. My ties now is with the embassy.
We will meet up there.

@ femo, Na wa for you, you just dey enter space, na only God sabi wether you sill dey Niger self. Wats up with you. I would like to get info on how to enter college of avaition zaria for an Aeronautic/Aviation Eng. course. A friend of mine is interested.

@ Wham, pilot 77, superboi and co, Wats up? Shey everything is going well. Our office is still up there, come rain,come sun and i trust you guys are working towards that.

All da best, bro.
Cheers.

@Bim-29,

Hi Bim, thanks for your concern.
First of all, i want you to know that i really dont need virgin to train as a pilot. I already have my sponsors and virgin is aware of that.

Secondly, I said an insider told me that most of the choosen ones were their crew members. The test was not just apptitude test. There was a pre-test that required flying experience. I wasnt expecting that they would leave their crew with better experience and pick the less experience ones. Beside,i have insiders(flight operations) who could push for me, but becos they are aware of my sponsors, they didnt.

As you can understand, am well and very well grounded.

@ femo2000,
What runs? That would be great. Which is your school? Let's get more intimate, maybe through mail or call.
Yes, they said i can work. They said they are going to help get me a job.

I will sure let you guys know. You too gist us too when evertyhing works out.
All da best.

@superboi,
I will as soon as am free, but am quite busy now.

The test was ok.It was simple, but they gave a feedback 30mins after the txt and called some persons that they were succesfull.
There was something that happened, all the successfull persons happens to be sitting in some particular side of the hall.I was told later by an insider that most off the successful people were their crew/ staff.

Ofcourse , we cant be expecting that they leave their staffs to pick outsider. what they woudnt have done was to drag people from their houses when they know who they wanted. The insider that told me said complains are coming into their office and he actually wanted to know if i noticed any fowl in the hall. na them sabi sha, at least am not loosing out, i still get my sponsors.

@Pastorial,
It could be easy for train but not so easy for plane. If i may ask, do you understand properly the concept of flying a plane. The controls are not like a train and unlike train the flight part are very different.

I know engineers are trying to improve on flight operation, but they have said they cannot completely eliminate the controls of the pilots. they are only trying to reduce the controls. this is because there are no enough pilots.

Maybe you have facts, but please do back your points with facts,it makes understanding a lot easier.

Thanks for yur contribution all the same.

@femo,

My people are actually slow oooooooooooo. Infact we (school, sponsors and me) all had issues but thank God is over now. Is a very long story my dear.

The good news is that they have finnally settled the school, remaining me,but that one na small thing. They will do that soon.

Wats up, where have you been. Did virgin call you for test?

@superboi.
Thanks

I was called for test, but dont have an idea what the test is like.

@Wham,

With this info, do you think virgin will still train from outside. I doubt sha ooooooooooo.

Kudos to bayelsa state. that state can do anything to educate their sons and daughters. I wish am from that state.

@ RDV,

"In the interview, they asked me to describe How a Chopper flies (principle of flight), Why I wanted to be a Pilot, What are the necessary attributes that wld make a good pilot, why I felt i would make a good Pilot for bristow, why i wanted to work with bristow, talk abt global warming (General Affairs), what do i know abt the Politics going on in the US race for presidency.
they asked others what the capital of Kenya was, which country is Pretoria City, Whats the capital of Angola, Uganda, etc."

This is all i can tell you.
All d best and do let us know wat next.
When did you do ur test?

Hi,
I did mine on 12th but didnt hear from them. I thougt the white guy said if u are successful you will get a call that same evening. Meaning if you dont get a call from them u are not successful. the test was pretty ok.
I really dont know the criteria for selection sha, but am not too knee on copters, i really want fixed wing.

Any news on virgin?

Hello house,

Goodluck and see you on top.

For now, na to face the study and flying training with full force O."

No stress,see you there and just let me know you are there.

@Wham,
Did you apply to virgin?

@ateke2
This is the web address www.usflightacademy.org. You enroll by filling their form A1. When you have sone that, just let me know(angel_2live4all@yahoo.com). I will mail the admission officer that you are my friend. Am happpy, we are many. Lets put heads together and see how we could help ourselves.
Did you apply for the Bristow and virgin stuf?
Tek kia.

@fem2000,
I have not meet RDV. I hope i really meet him. The guy help me well well oooooooooo.

@Femo2000,
Thanks for all the cudoos. Its not really easy.
Am not too too close to those guys. Your case is not too bad. I think you should walk up to The DFO VN and let him know your intention. Talk to him and see if you can be considered for their cadetship. You know,you really can't tell who might help. It was like that with me, I had two sponsorship offers,NDDC and Desopadec. I had to choose one.

My people are still very much in support, infact, they give me a kind of Oviation that baffles me(as their only female pilot trainee).

When you get to VN office(int'l airport), tell them you whant to see the DFO/ C.Pilot, Tell them you are a pilot trainee. If you are given a form to fill, fill pilot,they would see you.on the other hand, enrol in a school. try to get your acceptance letter. That would explain your seriousness better. You just tell them you have a school, you could raise some amount, stuf like that, u suppose sabi how dem dey do am.

The school i enrolled with really helped me, they gave me all i needed to seek sponsor. They stood by me and kept encouraging me. I had issue with tuition increment, i told them i wont be able to afford the accomodation fee and they are offering me a place without pay, they have been nice so far.

I heard Bank PHB is into this loan Stuf for UK studies. Why dnt you enquire if they can grant you loan for ur training. You could choose a school that the period of training is short, tuition is cheap so as not to pile up intrest. you know these banks and their ways. is only an idea.

Pls keep the spirit high and always trust God. He stands for us always. Dertermination can Pave way for you.
I will see how I can assist you.

Stay cool my G. Things go beeeeeeeeeeeeeeee.

hi guys. Am a female and am an intending pilot trainee. I have enrolled in a school in the us and have gotten myself a sponsor. I will be commencing my training on fixed wing soon, as soon as my visa is ready.
Har far guys, The stuf is not easy oh. I got a capt friend with KlM that sent me some books and cd that am studying with.
It feels good to meet people who share your intrest.
I beg make una dey hala me.
One Luv.
