Hope they sort out the pay and the non existant ''roster'' or they'll struggle for the guys needed

I got a phone call for a chat with MK airlines. They seem quite informal about things... anybody tell me more about the interview process... which sim.... what type of ops/ tech. questions. The company structure... who is funding them these days? PM if you want ...

Cheers folks

I've heard back to say expect an interview in a couple of weeks.

I'm an F/o on a passenger turbo prop so quite a big jump. What experience do you guys have?

Whats the scoop on rosters (days away per month), pay, routes, positioning class etc. And are those 744s still coming?

I may need a new job soon - current on the 744.

good luck to everyone planning to join- i can assure you there will be at least one position available soon, mine!
flying heavy jets is a great thing but it can only outweigh the negatives to a point- whereafter it is no longer worth it.

hi ya

pfm08 please tell me why you are not ' vibbing ' with MK... I mean I don't know any airline who doesn't want their pound of flesh... I have flown for a few, and they all change rostas... have tech probs, etc...Have they lied about pay or your conditions... just interested as I have applied to them..

Nothing new really that I can think of. Have been down to Landhurst to do Sim etc and they seem to be getting really back on track. Have you applied to them?
