Spacewalk:
simulator flight or which one?

superamoled:


I already have my instructors rating and have over 500 flight hours

I know spending more money can help to possibly secure a job but some of the ways I know will cost above $20,000 (₦7.2 mil) which I simply don't have

emmaodet:


I think yes, it is poor bro.
Which company?

domido:
they listed it as one of the profession one does not need to go to school for. Aaahhh!! Thank God I save that one and had it in mind to do a research on that to counter that lie.

Do de recruit surveyors? Does shipping companies recruit surveyors? Have been home for too long, really need a job

Explorers:
The average salary of a Nigerian pilot depends on a number of factors. How experienced the pilot is, the Flying hours (how many hours he/she has flown), and Pilot’s personal ranking Rating types Company (the airline the pilot works for)

Every new pilot (who has no experience and has just graduated from an aviation college) usually has a NCAA license (it is called CPL or Commercial Pilot License) but does not have a rating yet.

He/she may have problems with finding a job right after the graduation and can only hope for ‎₦200,000 to ‎₦500,000 if lucky(in a good airline company) per month. This can only happen if the employer will send their new pilot to Type Rating courses.

Pilots who are first officers (FO) and senior first officers (SFO) meaning they do have their Type Rating can expect their salaries up to ‎₦800,000 per month. In their situation, the amount of money they are paid absolutely depends on the company that offers them a job, their experience and flying hours.

Salary of Captain, Local captains can expect a higher salary than new pilots.

Their average monthly salary depends on the company and their working hours. Depending on these factors, these Nigerian pilots might be paid from ‎₦500,000 to ‎₦1,500,000 Naira a month.

International captain/pilot flying for international companies can earn ‎₦2,000,000 per month.

Wilson125:

emmaodet:


Yes, i forgot to add tamrose. A friend got job with them this January, second mate 1.5m
If not for this corona virus, i would have changed company too. It's really fulvcking my plans up.
Tide water offered me 1.8m as chief, Tosdere 65k per day while Walvis/Jason 1.4m/month.
Just weighing my options and job security.
Are you a deck officer or engine?
Which company you at?
Can we talk offline?

fashrola:


Engine.... But currently working as Techlog Supt... Hoping to go back to sea again

Godsfavour78:
please sir the person that works with the computers on the ship. What is their qualification like?

ajoks533:


Please, how about becoming an Air Traffic Controller. What does it take?

emmaodet:


Deck officers but it is not computer per say rather DP system.
It's an advance computer and when operated keeps the ship on a particular position without manoeuvring manually.
Qualifications are -
Stcw manila 2010
COC
Advance mandatories
Peripheral certificates and documents

Godsfavour78:
thanks i really appreciate. Do they need to have a degree in computer science or they must study marine engineering too?

emmaodet:


No need for degree in computer science.
Marine engineering is a different department.

Godsfavour78:
ok sir if i get you correctly i just need those certificates you mentioned and bsc or hnd is not needed right?

emmaodet:


Not different from what sailors earn and the courses are a bit cheaper than pilots.
I am a second officer and depending on company, certificate and experience you will get between 250k to 2.2m at my level sailing offshore or holding a north to south africa sailing ticket/license

wwwtortoise:


Your are right. I can relate with the information at my disposal as an employee in a shipping and logistics coy.

What is your rank?

domido:
And in one of the topics on front page today they listen it as one of the profession one does not need to go to school for. Aaahhh!! Thank God I save that one and had it in mind to do a research on that to counter that lie oo

Thank You Explorer.

opeey:

qanda:

Answer these

You should be at least below 30 at most 35,why? Because at 40 you would be renewing your medicals yearly while below that its 2 years or so

Do you suffer from motion sickness
Meaning do you feel like vomiting when you are in a high speeding vehicle,work on that before committing

Your eye sight your health extremely important
That's why the ideal age for commencing a career 16 or early 20s

That's when you are the peak of health
and airlines are willing to train you if you have a ppl with hours or a cpl

Money money money keep nothing less than 20 million for a realistic chance of being a cpl holder

Good luck

mosquitoway:


i understand , i have been through it, keep going on with instructing and try to get your atpl once you get the hours, i got on a cessna caravan before i could get a type on a Q400,i have several ratings now,All is in the past and i am happy i didnt give up, stay strong , do not lose motivation

emmaodet:


Second mate presently but i have my chief mate license now

wwwtortoise:


That's nice.
See you at the top mate

emmaodet:

Yes and having hnd or bsc is an added advantage

emmaodet:


Work under me keee, i be employee too bro.
I never get shipping company yet ooo
What are the things you want to learn?

superamoled:


Unfortunately, I don't have an instructing job and currently not flying but I'll keep the hopes up and pray I will get a pilot job soon

RRWraith:


I'm sure you dont get what I'm saying.
This flight school will give you your certificates and training buh is that enough to land you a job? The answer is NO. You need more than just training and certs to make it to the cockpit.

The one i talked about above offers traing, certs and a guaranteed 1500 flight hours not on trainer aircrafts but on passenger aircrafts, the airbus A320 and A321neo and will get you on any commercial airline in the US or middle east or maybe just about anywhere in the world..an almost instant employment after you finish.
With this your school, you might just have to hustle the required flight hours to land a seat in the back row of the cockpit.
