Alapt; I agree with you but compare apples with apples. MK serves a particular market. They handle contracts that most won't, thus risks are greater. I'm not going to slag off other carriers but there are far worse carriers than MK. I can think of one trying to fly out of Angola with a seriously damaged aircraft. They have lost several aircraft in Africa. They also change there name on a frequent basis. My point is that Pandabear could do a lot worse than MK. If I was looking for work, I'ld have no problem working for MK. MK doesn't pack up and move, eveytime it has a problem.
