Skipper how's your training coming?

lionlee216:
Ot might help someone

callysea:
Haha...surely we should have a couple of lifeguards here to our rescue, yea?

ifyalways:

I now understand fully your predicament . My daughter called me today to inform me that STANBIC via email, notified her of changes/new limitations of her naira cards abroad. From tomorrow, the limit on daily/monthly atm withdrawal is $100 (for blue,gold,silver card holders) while monthly web/POS limit is now $300.

That sucks

Neduzze5:


Answer these questions
1. Where are you?
2. Where's the money coming in from?
3. After exchanging, what currency would you want the money to be in?

Neduzze5:


Okay, that's cool as well.

ifyalways:

Too bad. Call or email Stanbic again and explain your predicament to them. Better still have one of your parents visit a branch preferably their head office in Nigeria to have a chat with them.

I don't know anyone in Port Elizabeth. My daughter schools in Cape Town and does not have money issues as she went with GTB, access and stanbic cards plus the occasional naira transfer, rands cash transaction.

SorryO

Neduzze5:


Choose USD not Naira as you will be transacting majorly in dollars.

lordkay10:

Open a Skrill account and upload funds from your Naira card to your skrill account, then add your foreign bank account and transfer the uploaded funds to it

ifyalways:

Which bank? You don't have more than one atm? Sorry o.

Stanbic gives the best rates anyways. Also did you inform your bank you were travelling BEFORE leaving Naija? Could be a reason for your predicament.

Dunno where u are in SA but just ask around from any Nigerian especially Igbo genuine business men etc the ones that operate Nigerian restaurants and food stuff.

Pele.

Open a Skrill account and upload funds from your Naira card to your skrill account, then add your foreign bank account and transfer the uploaded funds to it

ifyalways:

Pay with POS as much as possible. POS allows up to $1500 monthly. ATM withdrawals are however limited to $200 to $400 daily depending on bank.

Also, there are some Nigerians who can give you rands cash and you transfer the naira equivalence to their Nigerian bank account, if you do Internet banking(face to face transaction Adviced!) @ Randburg etc

Once upon a time....

Boeing777pilot:


If you are type rated, it's usually faster cos if you aren't rated, it means they may be have to sponsor you for training abroad something they don't do often...


Believe me, it's not crazy cos I did something similar but not in Nigeria though, got my 737 type rating, then worked for free for a while but getting a proper contract and the rest is history...

Boeing777pilot:


Yes they do.

Boeing777pilot:


I would recommend the instructor route. Have you considered building hours in the SIM?

Boeing777pilot:


Ur most welcome.
But give careful consideration for the equipment you want to be type rated on. It's very important especially with respect to career mobility.

Boeing777pilot:


300+ hours when I went for 737 type rating

I had 800+ on type when I landed my first job as a 737 FO

freshvine:
My question is simple... Why is it that planes with their engines at the tail wind areas are faster in take off and cruising speed but planes whose engine are attached to their wings are slower in take off.

I've been very unfortunate each time I want to fly it is the latter always on ground. There was a time Arik has 2 aircraft on ground boarding to port Harcourt from MMA Lagos simultaneously. I almost made a switch to join the one going to Port Harcourt International Airport Omagwa because it has the former engine type for it passengers while I was to land at the NAF base in Port Harcourt. Guess what, the hostess quickly discover my prank in time and bounce me to my original paid carrier.

I miss the experience

hammer2010:
No dis respect to Islam, but the whole ideology seems to be dangerously centered around women, especially virgins.

They don't only have a seeming craze for getting married to under aged girls, but they equally believe when you die fighting for "Allah, " you will be rewarded with 72 virgins

wine4dguy:
No I mean the aircraft maintenance engineering course

Femcesc07:
Yes bro, guess it getting warm now and at the same time you are adapting lo, how is life generally overthere
