This year cant be dry for this discussion noww!

Anybody with a story?

Happy New Year All.

May our ideas begin to consolidate and materialize into profitable quality productions this year.

A prosperous New Year to everyone on the Pilot/Aviation thread.

May our aspirations draw nearer and our careers blossom this year

What I know about SA is that there are some flying schools from which U can get your people with the Rand equivalence of about N0.7M.

I had earlier posted links to websites of a number of flying schools in SA. Why not check them out and do some comparison.

Another thing is that it will be better if U had someone who will recommend a school to U. Try to find out from anyone U know who has passed through this Malaysian school about the quality of their facilities, instructors and training.

Its much easier to find Nigerians who can tell U about some of he schools in SA, US Ukraine and Cyprus.
On the other hand, lets not be rigid, U might just be the onee who is going o bring us good tales from "Malaysia".
(just do ur homework well b4 making a choice).

Check www.pprune.org. U might just get the info u need

Now I'm not sure anymore how much stakes Branson still has in VN.

There was the rumor recently that he was going to pull out of the investment, especially because of the treatment he felt they got from the Fed. gov. and FAAN in the MM2/Internationl Wing issue.

@Crooks
I think U can get training for a PPL at a lower fee in SA.
This school in Malasia, is it known for high quality?
Whats the attraction?

Any other prospects attached to schooling there?

Hey!
I heard Virgin Nig. downsized its staff workforce some weeks back.

About 70 of their staff got affected.

Seems the global economic meltdown really took its toll on the airline. (Abi what's the truth behind the airlines restructuring?)

Hello all,
I saw a career ad. in a Guardian newspaper. Though expired, the main details were that:

The new flying school in Kwara State, INTERNATIONAL  AVIATION COLLEGE, ILORIN is looking for

1. Flight Instructors
2. Ground Instructors
3. Flight Simulator Instructors

I didnt bother to include all the details because the deadline has expireded (22nd Dec).

We should at least keep an update of whats happening in the industry.

Whats the name of the School in Malasia?

Any website?

Thats good!

Do we have any sketchy plans for the next meeting?

Can we make January?

Thanks maxani!

Coincidentally, I do some animation too. Hoping to meet u on the Graphics section on that one.

I'm getting excited.

. . . Cant wait for the next meeting.

@Kiwi992

I just found the time to finally go through your concise online documentary on the interesting world of SSDRs.

Its amazing to have an insight on some of the remarkable contraptions that these people have engineered to fly.

I'm touched by your attitude, especially your having to painstakingly type the descriptions for each of the aircrafts in detail with the intention of motivating the rest of us.

I really appreciate your contributions and your interest in our aspirations.

Thank you.

Took me a while to find this thread on the Career Section.

What happened?

Hey!
How was the meeting?

Wish I was there.

What was discussed?

How many people came this time?

Thanks Kiwi

@Kiwi992

No problem, we'll appreciate your efforts.

@Kiwi992
Just as Superboi had earlier said, we will appreciate it if we could get a couple of inspirational pictures.

(I'll like to see the car that flies)

@Superboi
My brother, I'm fine. We'll get to hook up one day

@She-flies

The Aviation Show,  How about giving it a go?

. . .  And hooking up with Kiwi.

I Read an article on ThisDay about the INTERNATIONAL AVIATION COLLEGE, ILORIN:

Bukola Saraki, gov. of Kwara State says the state has already spent N1.6B on the project.

He says it will be private sector driven and that 50 hectares of land was acquired for the college along airport road, Ilorin.

A momoorandum of Understanding (MOU) with HORIZON AVIATION ACADEMY of Dubai has been signed and the school is to commence operations next year May.

It is to be the best in Africa.

I dont think I'll be in town for the 6th of Dec. I'll be out of Abuja for a while. I hope to participate even if its for a few mins on phone or on the net.

I hope everyone else is still gearing up for that date?

@Adexblue
My brother, how u dey?
Thanks for all the info and encouragement.

@Ohiochard
You are welcome.

@RDV
Thank you.
Your contributions on this thread has been so helpfull. We appeciate.

@Ohiochard
Its my pleasure.
I'll try to keep checking my mail for any responses.

Okay, lets look forward to 6th Dec while other folks can let us know what they think about the date.

@Ohiochard
I'll check ur mail now.

I Hope U have sent your application to Bristow?

@wiod657
You can reach me on whamatix@yahoo.com.

Same for any other person interested in the Bristow Application.

Hello Micha3l,

Nice to have U on board here.

@All
How about another date in Nov for the meeting? We still have 14th and 21st of Nov.

@wiod657
Just as RDV has said, being a pilot requires passion for the job.

Bristow's tests and Interviews have a way of testing for personal interest.

If you are really interested in being a chopper pilot with Bristow then search for the threads on "Bristow Test" on Nairaland.
There is a link to one of them on a previous page of this same topic. Just check all the pages here.

All the best.

Nice one

@GENCEN

Feel free to join us in our next meeting. It doesnt matter where u reside.

U can drop me a line on whamatix@yahoo.com.
