Unfortunately, Upwiththebirds MK Airlines will only employ you if you're Zimbabwean and DAS Air also prefers East Africans.

Strange, really, as both of those carriers are to all intents and purposes UK based, with administration, operations and technical bases here - yet thanks to their third world Flag of Convenience operations they fall outside the control of the JAA/CAA and regrettably the DETR doesn not seem to want to take action!

This means that their 'red tape' and compliance costs are much lower than those of European carriers - and now, once again, we have seen the demise of a first rate European airline thanks to these cowboys.

At least ATLAS is run - and the aircraft are flown - by true professionals that comply with their regulations!

Cargolion has now joined the roll of honour that includes such British carriers as Anglo Cargo, Tradewinds, British Cargo, Pelican Air Transport, Scimitar, Redcoat etc etc
