Biz Jets, Ag Flying, GA etc.The place for discussion of issues related to corporate, Ag and GA aviation. If you're a professional pilot and don't fly for the airlines then try here.
I think there was a link back on another thread once that showed him as a 777 pilot? if i remember correctly, which was thrown about in banter on here, don't think thats true either, although he did have a newspaper article to say that in some Welsh start up business post

Extract from Business @ Bridgend magazine July 2006 issue:
"The company, Unique Air was started with the help of the Bridgend branch of Business in Focus, an organisation dedicated to helping businesses in Wales grow, by former Air Continental Boeing 777 pilot Mark Davies. Mark lived in Florida and worked for a leading American airline for seven years before deciding it was time to return home to Bridgend. Unique Air which officially started in November 05, operates a 4 seater club class Piper Seneca, flown by Mark Davies with a range of 1000 miles non-stop. They can also upon request provide a range of aircraft including Lear jets. The company was originally formed for business travellers and can count several members of the horse racing fraternity, Welsh celebrities and successful business people amongst its growing list of regular customers. Unique Air has also attracted a number of customers that use their service to visit family, holiday destinations or long weekend breaks. With the cessation of Air Wales passenger service, this is a market that Unique Air is planning to cater for by introducing regular charter services with the cost of the flight divided equally between the passengers. Mark Davies said, "I felt that there was a unique opportunity in Wales for a personal short haul air service. If you take for example travelling to North Wales, there are no scheduled internal flights going from South Wales to North Wales, and it can take five hours by car. I can get you there in just 30 minutes. With our flexible service we can pick you up in an airfield of your choice and take you to an airfield as close to your destination as possible". Unique Air regularly flies to Shannon, Wexford, Newcastle, Manchester, Blackpool and Jersey. The company can arrange a flight to virtually any short haul destination. Business partner and Mark’s fiancée Claire Bartlett is in charge of the sales and marketing of the company. She expects that they will exceed their target annual turn over of £100, 000 in their first full year of operating.

Well, being a pilot does not mean you know how to run an airline, often better to be a bit more removed. Thats what the Chief pilot is for!! I was thinking more of credentials for running the operation as Director?
777 pilot? Really? bravo! Who for? Any training captains out there able to verify this claim ?
More importantley , is there any positions out there for the unlucky few that got caught up in this nightmare? Would another firm reject applications from these guys (and girls?) due to association with Unique Air ?
I see yet another flavour of Unique Air, this time Unique Air International Ltd was incorporated on 9th July. Same address as UNIQUE AIR G-WWIZ (UK) LTD, too much of a concidence to be of no association.
My guess is that this will be the holding company for the new "largest Cessna Citation operator in Europe "
Or I wonder if a company ever dissolved and re-named itself in order to break links with past debt? Unique Air International is, as you rightly say, the same entity. We were emailed to say that despite the name change our terms and conditions remained the same ie unpaid and bullied!
From what I can see it is not a name change but a new legal entity, the original company still exists, but has had a name change to Unique Eminem or something like that.
Perhaps the next intention is a holding company for a new record label to launch Welsh rap wannabes who can't get a contract elsewhere due to their low clubland experience. Doubtless there'll be VIP transport, free hotel accommodation, promises of stardom, interviews with Tom Jones and Charlotte Church adding their commentry. Inevitably it'll end in tears with new punk combo Swansea Sex Pistols providing cover versions of EMI (nem) and I Did it My Way.
Mike, time for you to return to planet Earth now.... though to be fair, all the time I spent at Swansea, I never felt it really was on the same planet.
Nice scenery, some great pubs and grub certainly, but there's definitely some kind of aviation jinx at work there!
MD sent me a text some weeks ago saying that the money to pay up came to him that day, but he'd take it to court before paying me. I'm in the process of instigating those proceedings, but this won't be of any surprise to him.
Any news on the Baron - is it still on the ground at Swansea?
I wonder if he did have the money to pay out, as he claimed?
Maybe we should go to small claims court, I can afford it, maybe we should see if those deep pockets and short arms of the hooters man can stretch to that anyway, I mean its about £50 a letter only these days from his solicitor, could tie him up for a while when he should be concentrating on Bull airways.
I answered with a suitable reply, I will post on here if he does, how unscrupulous, I have heard it all now, like i said earlier in posts 18th august 2006, happy to prove the flight if required
So just to summarise all, I was not employed, but offered pay for that day, hmm ok then a back-hander (which was never paid) then that would be a tax dodge im guessing. Also offered as previousy stated to do some dodgy low level flying over a temp restricted area.
Hope this clears matters guys, and MD, im not jumping band wagon, merely stating the facts you are an , the band wagon is rolling to protect the hard working people of flying
Lets go for the small claims guys
WITHOUT PREJUDICE
Paul,
I believe that you didn't at any time work for Unique Air (uk)ltd, however you did use the company as an excuse for you infidelity with other airline cabin crew members, it appears on the rumour network that you insinuate that you were an employee which is incorrect, it is agreed you had an offer of employment which you did not proceed with. may we sagest that any future posts are clearly stated that you are not and have not been an employee, you just want to jump on the band wagon.

Reason: forgot something
When I met his parents it seemed that they had invested a large sum of their own money in the company, I suspect it was to do with the purchase of the N reg Seneca. I wonder if they'll ever get it back.
They seemed very surprised some time ago when I told them that we had not been paid. I'd be interested to know what they have now been told.
Hey just had a txt message too says
