I think too many people remember the past, and unfortunate things that happened.. Ive only been at MK since June, since then we gained G-MKAA, and as above many JAA licensed crews.... Flying on average 450 hours a week with 7 B747-200 and a DC8 operating out of LUN/NLA sort of area... Hitting the magic 500 mark every so often, but have quite a few tech issues here and there with engines (Short sector problem really).
As for jobs, people can apply at
www.mkairlines.com theres an online application form im led to believe, we've just had a batch of new loadies so i couldnt say if the boss is still recruiting, but theres no harm in trying?
Ill keep trying to find out about rsaters/pay, but its not exactly easy speaking to the guys about that sort of thing, haha.. I know from crewing that the guys tend to do a maximum of 20-25 days on duty with a rest day here and there (as by UKCAA ruling) and then time at home obviously depends on personal circumstances etc etc
