Dear Bear,
Thanks for your inputs with regards to dodgy agencies. As mentioned before, I did forward my CV and have had a response already. They are looking at current type rated drivers mainly for the A330, A340 and B777 (no surprises there!) for commuting contracts only! I believe they do not as as an agency, therefore do not employ pilots on a contract but rather source pilots for client airline companies. Not sure the exact number of days on/off but will forward details as I get more info. I have dealt with a few of the other so called reputable agencies in the past and they are very quick to get you to sign an exclusive agreement with them though their contracts are nowhere near the best deal. Also, as far as I know, mbkAviation is headed up by an ex-aerospace engineer and retired pilots with a lot of airline & type experience. If anyone decides to apply, I understand Bear's concerns but my motivation to relocate my family from Dubai far outweighs thoughts of unscrupulous agents out there. Besides, with the current shortage of pilots and considering changes of family and personal circumstances, it's worth a look at. PS....so far they have not asked for my credit card details or signing of any exclusive agreement. Good Luck!
